William L . Finley National Wildlife Refuge

Located ten miles south of Corvallis, the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge protects the largest remaining tract of native Willamette Valley wet prairie — fields of wildlife food crops interspersed with Oregon white oak savanna, meandering creeks with bottomland ash forest, old growth bigleaf maple, and native prairie. This is an exception of ecological rarity: today only 1 percent of the valley's wet prairies remain, and within this refuge's more than 5,000 acres you'll find the Willamette Valley's largest remaining intact wet prairie.

The refuge is also exceptional for a very specific bird: dusky Canada geese are unlike other Canada goose subspecies, with a population hovering around 16,000. They nest on Alaska's Copper River Delta and winter almost exclusively in the wetlands of the Willamette Valley.
