Overflow National Wildlife Refuge is a 12,247 acres (49.6 km2) wildlife refuge in Ashley County, Arkansas managed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
Overflow National Wildlife Refuge was created in 1980. It lies 5 miles (8.0 km) west of Wilmot, Arkansas. The western boundary of the refuge follows the contour along the Mississippi Alluvial Valley escarpment which separates the Mississippi River delta from the Gulf Coastal Plain. The refuge also manages 2,267 acres (9.2 km2) at the Oakwood Unit, also in Ashley County, to which there is no public access.
The refuge consists of 9,247 acres (37.4 km2) of bottomland hardwood, 2,620 acres (10.6 km2) of agricultural fields, and 200 acres (0.8 km2) of upland pine-hardwood. It also contains a 230-acre (0.9 km2) old growth Sugar Maple and American Beech forest.
The refuge was established to protect the habitat of various types of migratory waterfowl along the Mississippi Flyway. It also provides a habitat for other birds, such as the American Bald Eagle. Over 100,000 birds winter in the refuge.
Famous quotes containing the words overflow, national, wildlife and/or refuge:
“All good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“The American, if he has a spark of national feeling, will be humiliated by the very prospect of a foreigner’s visit to Congress—these, for the most part, illiterate hacks whose fancy vests are spotted with gravy, and whose speeches, hypocritical, unctuous, and slovenly, are spotted also with the gravy of political patronage, these persons are a reflection on the democratic process rather than of it; they expose it in its process rather than of it; they expose it in its underwear.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“Russian forests crash down under the axe, billions of trees are dying, the habitations of animals and birds are layed waste, rivers grow shallow and dry up, marvelous landscapes are disappearing forever.... Man is endowed with creativity in order to multiply that which has been given him; he has not created, but destroyed. There are fewer and fewer forests, rivers are drying up, wildlife has become extinct, the climate is ruined, and the earth is becoming ever poorer and uglier.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
