The one hundred eighty acre Sam and Adeline Ropchan Wildlife Refuge was established in perpetuity by the Ropchans under the stewardship of Acres, Inc. as a home and protected area for wild creatures to live, where people can visit only as guests and enjoy it peacefully. It was dedicated on May 14, 1977, with words attributed to Chief Seattle: "What is man without beasts? If all beasts were gone men would die from a great loneliness of spirit for what ever happens to beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected."
