Welcome to Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). Located in the southeastern corner of Virginia, Back Bay NWR was established by Presidential Proclamation in 1938 to provide habitat for migrating and wintering waterfowl, particularly greater snow geese. Today, the Refuge continues to be an important link in the chain of National Wildlife Refuges located along the Atlantic Flyway.
Refuge grounds are open seven days a week, sunrise to sunset. The Visitor Contact Station is open Tuesday - Friday 8:00am-4:00pm and Saturdays 9:00am-4:00pm, closed Sunday and Monday.
Our mission at Back Bay NWR is to provide habitat for migrating and wintering waterfowl, particularly great snow geese. In addition, as part of the National Wildlife Refuge System (US Fish and Wildlife Service) our mission is to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.
