Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge
\n<\/strong>The Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in extreme\u00a0southeast Mississippi<\/span>,\u00a0 is part of the Gulf Coast Refuge Complex, which includes Grand Bay NWR and Bon Secour NWR.\u00a0The refuge was established “to protect the critically endangered Mississippi sandhill cranes and their unique, and itself endangered, wet pine savanna habitat. ” “…\u00a0here, a rich, colorful blend of rare orchids, carnivorous plants and other ground cover thrive under the scattered pines in one of the most species-rich plant communities in North America.
\nThe refuge has two trails. \u00a0The folks there were kind enough to reply to my query: \u00a0“Both trails would be classified as easy hikes due to length (both under one mile) and gain in elevation. Both trails also have benches located along the route, so visitors may stop and rest during their walk. Unfortunately, the trails are not accessible for wheelchairs, though we have had school groups with students in wheelchairs (both motorized and non motorized) complete the C.L. Dees trail with assistance from their instructors. ” \u00a0 The refuge reviewed on Trip Advisor\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0 Here is the Refuge website<\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0Phone 228-497-6322
