About

Imported description
 Featherstone National Wildlife Refuge consists of 325 acres of woodland and freshwater tidal marsh. The refuge was established to protect the contiguous wetland features characteristic of this small strip of land, bordered by urban development. Its southernmost boundary lies along the northern shore and mouth of Neabsco Creek; from there, the refuge extends north along Occoquan Bay for almost 2 miles. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service manages this secluded area, on which many species of plants, animals, and insects rely.

From Wikipedia

The Featherstone National Wildlife Refuge is a National Wildlife Refuge located along the Potomac River in Virginia, at the point where it meets Neabsco Creek. The 325 acres (1.32 km2) of tidal marsh has been administered by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service since 1970; currently, it is part of the Potomac River National Wildlife Refuge Complex. The refuge covers wetlands and woodlands, and has a railroad right-of-way bordering its western edge. It is currently accessible only by boat, but has been considered as a possible portion of the route for the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail.
