Zone Contracts for Regions 1 and 6
Design Phase

REGION 1:

• Anaho Island National Wildlife Refuge
  Reno, Nevada
• San Diego National Wildlife Refuge
  Various sites around San Diego

In the unique landscape of Anaho Island, Nevada, two large orientation signs welcome visitors to Anaho Island National Wildlife Refuge. A life-like diorama of pelicans nesting provides a rare look into the behavior of these wild birds, while a large sculptural element provides a stunning representation of one of these magnificent birds in flight.

In the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge Complex, a series of outdoor interpretive signs will explain the landscape of 3 separate wildlife areas.

REGION 6:

• Karl Mundt National Wildlife Refuge
  Lake Andes, SD
• Kelly Slough National Wildlife Refuge
  Devils Lake, ND
• Lake Alice National Wildlife Refuge
  Devils Lake, ND
• Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge
  Maybell, CO
• Kirwin National Wildlife Refuge
  Kirwin, KS

Across 4 states, Formations is designing and fabricating 39 interpretive signs dealing with the preservation of essential habitat for numerous species of migratory birds. Visitors will be encouraged to discover the varied species of migratory birds that inhabit the refuges at different times of the year. They will also learn about efforts by the Fish and Wildlife Service to preserve and restore the land—and the native species that depend on it—through methods such as prescribed burns, native tree planting, flood control, and cattle grazing.
