National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Survey 2012: Individual Refuge Results for Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge

So much of our natural habitat, environment and heritage have been lost, that to preserve at least some natural areas where these plants, animals, and land forms can continue to live and exist now and for the future is vitally important in and of itself as well as for future generations. If we lose what's left, we are all diminished. — Survey comment from a visitor to Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge
