Historic Aviation Pioneer Glenn L. Martin’s Land Donation Becomes Vital Migratory Bird Refuge

Aviation pioneer Glenn L. Martin donated over 2,500 acres in 1954, helping create a refuge for migratory birds

A former private hunting preserve now serves as a vital wildlife refuge. This refuge protects tidal marshes and wooded ridges for migratory birds. Established in 1954, it has since expanded significantly in size. The area provides seasonal shelter for waterfowl and nesting grounds for many birds. It also supports mammals, reptiles, and marine species, preserving the bay's natural landscape.
