Blue Ridge National Wildlife Refuge is located in the Sierra Nevada, in Tulare County, California. The refuge is one of four units of the Hopper Mountain National Wildlife Refuge Complex for California condors.

Geography

The Blue Ridge National Wildlife Refuge is part of the cooperatively-managed Blue Ridge Wildlife Habitat Area, an {{convert|11000|acre|km2|adj=on}} area set aside as an important roosting area located close to historic nesting and foraging habitat for the California condor. This refuge consists of almost {{convert|900|acre|km2}} of coniferous forests dominated by Ponderosa Pine and Incense Cedar.

As of July 2014, there is a total population of 437 condors living in sites in California, Baja California and Arizona.[2] This includes a wild population of 232 and a captive population of 205.[2] 68 free-flying Condors are managed by the US Fish & Wildlife Service in Southern California.[2]

  • U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
