Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge 🦅 🐺

The Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge at Lake Texoma plays a vital ecological role in supporting plant and animal wildlife. Catherine Van Bebber shares the history and importance of the 13,000-acre haven.
There are numerous ways the Refuge supports animal habitats and survival success. One striking example is that 300 to 500 hundred acres are sown with wheat annually. This wheat attracts geese by the thousands as they arrive from their northern breeding grounds. These winter “snowbird” residents feed on refuge-grown grain that prepares them for spring migration to their summer breeding grounds. The Refuge is home to    46 species of mammals and 338 species of birds.

Catherine serves as a tour guide, bluebird Nestbox monitor, and training coordinator. She observes, “Every time I visit Hagerman it brings solace to my soul; it is a wonderful feeling to be in nature.”  

The library is located at 300 N. Allen Dr. Call 214-509-4911 for additional information.
