It’s a beautiful place and is one of the most important urban wildlife refuges in the United States. Its 9,155 acres are an important stopover point for more than 325 species of migrating birds. Also, due to introduction of native species and creation of conducive habitat, Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge is the home to breeding reptiles and amphibians, small mammals and butterflies.
