St. Johns National Wildlife Refuge
St. Johns National Wildlife Refuge (SJNWR) was established in 1971 to protect the dusky seaside
sparrow. In 1990, the species was officially declared extinct and the critical habitat was
delisted. Today, SJNWR is managed to provide habitat for several species of birds listed as
species of special management concern by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and for wildlife
and habitat diversity, primarily by prescribed fire. A marsh restoration project was conducted
on the Highway 50 Unit in 1990 to return sheetflow from the St. Johns River. Dike roads
traversing the Refuge in an east-west fashion were removed and clumps of spartina were planted.
