Glenn L Martin donated over 2,500 acres that now protect migratory birds

 A former private hunting preserve now serves as a vital wildlife refuge. This refuge protects tidal marshes and wooded ridges for migratory birds. Established in 1954, it has since expanded significantly in size. The area provides seasonal shelter for waterfowl and nesting grounds for many birds. It also supports mammals, reptiles, and marine species, preserving the bay’s natural landscape. A former private hunting preserve now serves as a vital wildlife refuge.
