Wallops Island National Wildlife Refuge in Virginia was established on July 10, 1975, when NASA transferred 373 acres to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, which administers it with Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. Adjacent to NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility, it occupies an unusual landscape of salt marsh, woodland, and the rare Lucky Boy sea-level fen, and supports birds including northern harriers, eagles, great horned owls, and migratory species. Management has remained collaborative since a 1971 agreement covering about 3,000 acres, later renewed and revised in 2011. The refuge is closed to the public except for deer hunting, allowed from 2002 to address overbrowsing and reduce collisions with vehicles and aircraft.
