Outer Island, once a charming summer getaway, has been transformed into a vital protected wildlife refuge. The island was generously donated to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service by Elizabeth Hird in 1995, with the intention of preserving its natural resources and fostering education and research. Today, it serves as an invaluable living laboratory for students and researchers alike, ensuring a sustainable conservation legacy for generations to come.
