Ramsey’s Draft is one of the stops on the Virginia Birding and Wildlife Trail established by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. In its description of Ramsey’s Draft on the Birding and Wildlife Trail website, the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries explains that this site “is probably popular among birders because it provides nesting grounds for neotropical migrants that typically nest at high elevations.”
Ramsey's Draft itself is a native brook trout stream. Other common wildlife found in Ramsey’s Draft Wilderness include white-tailed deer, black bear, wild turkey, squirrel, grouse, raccoon, beaver and rabbit, among others.

Famous quotes containing the word wildlife:
“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)
