Wapack National Wildlife Refuge in southern New Hampshire was established in 1972 through a donation from Lawrence and Lorna Marshall, becoming the state’s first national wildlife refuge. Covering 1,672 acres, it includes North Pack Monadnock Mountain and part of the Wapack Trail, known for wide mountain views. Its varied landscape ranges from northern hardwood-conifer forest and spruce-fir woodland to old fields, scrub-shrub habitat, and rocky ledges. Wapack is an important hawk migration area and supports nesting migratory songbirds as well as mammals, amphibians, and many insects. The refuge spans Greenfield, Lyndeborough, and Temple and is administered by Parker River National Wildlife Refuge in Massachusetts.
