Tualatin River
Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge is located at the northern end of the Willamette Valley near Sherwood, Oregon. The concept of creating the refuge originated from local citizens, cities, and governments, and so, it enjoys strong popular support, stemming from a desire to preserve green space where future generations can take part in outdoor recreation and education.
Habitats include remnant and restored communities along rivers and streams, emergent, shrub, and forested wetlands, riparian forests, oak and pine meadows and grasslands, and mixed deciduous/coniferous forests common to western Oregon prior to settlement.
These habitats are known primarily for their importance to salmon and steelhead, wintering Canada goose, pintail and mallard ducks, and for providing breeding habitat for songbirds.
Directions
Tualatin River Refuge is located approximately 15 miles southwest of downtown Portland near Sherwood.
You may travel to headquarters from either Interstate 5 or State Highway 217 by taking the exit for Highway 99W westbound. Drive through the City of Tigard, approaching King City.
Turn right onto Beef Bend Road and continue for approximately 3 miles, passing Fisher Farms where the road makes a sharp 90 degree curve to the right. Go straight at this curve into the driveway to headquarters. Please be careful when turning into the driveway because the view of oncoming traffic is limited.
