Work Continues To Improve Fish Passage On Conte Refuge
Road maintenance has been ongoing on the 40 miles of roads in the refuge and this season they have been graded and countless small culverts have been replaced as well as the two large ones I visited.
You may remember that last year I wrote about a bridge replacement on the refuge and the work continues to provide safe access to the Conte for the many who visit each year.

I interviewed Wildlife Refuge Manager Steve Agius for my program on WYKR and for this column. I have known Steve since he first took over as manager and have appreciated his dedication to the refuge and to providing public access. The Wheelock resident is a research biologist by training who has worked in many parts of the U.S. and even in Antartica during his career.
