The GDS provides critical habitat to about 200 species of birds, nearly 100 species of butterflies and skippers, many turtles, other reptiles and amphibians, white-tailed deer, otters and bobcats. It also hosts one of the largest black bear populations on the East Coast. Unlike Shenandoah's black bears, who have become habituated to humans, the GDS bears run away from us - often before we ever see them. The mission of the GDS is to protect and preserve the swamp's unique ecosystem and biodiversity. The refuge is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
