Research Natural Areas (RNAs)

   

Research Natural Areas (RNAs) are sites that have been selected to preserve significant natural ecosystems and gene pools, and to provide areas for ecological and environmental studies. They are managed by many federal agencies, including the USDA Forest Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Bureau of Land Management.

There are currently 13 NWRs in the state. Hiking, birding, hunting, fishing, wildlife observation, and photography are permitted but require permission.
