National Wildlife Refuges in Virginia
Virginia has 16 national wildlife refuges, all run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 3 are closed to the public. 2 are free to enter.
Each refuge sets its own closures and fire rules. Each refuge's page lists the fire restriction orders and closures on record for it, from the refuge's own fws.gov alerts, re-checked every six hours. Hunting and fishing seasons and limits are the refuge regulation's and Nevada's: each page links them, and none are restated here.
