CLARKS RIVER NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
October 21, 2002

The Clarks River National Wildlife Refuge (located in Benton, KY) is one of over 536 national wildlife refuges.  The primary objective of a national wildlife refuge is to provide habitat for the conservation and protection of all species of wildlife.  These refuges are home to hundreds of species of birds, mammals, reptiles, fish, and plants, including endangered species.  The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service manages more than 500 refuges, many within an hour's drive of major cities.  The dedication of this building proved it's importance to the community with the outstanding number of people present.  Amongst the guest list was Rick Huffines,  C. Tom Bennett, Sam D. Hamilton, and featured speaker U.S. Senator Mitch McConnel. Senator McConnel was presented with the KY Warbler Award for his dedication to the migratory birds in West Kentucky.
