Why running is off-limits at Finley Refuge

Finley Wildlife Refuge might look like the perfect spot for a jog, but running is actually off-limits here—and for good reason. Quick movements like jogging can scare nesting birds and other wildlife, making them feel threatened and disrupting their routines. Many locals shared that the refuge’s main goal is to protect animals, not provide recreation, so rules are strict: hiking is okay, but leave your running shoes (and pets) at home. It’s all about giving wildlife a peaceful place to thrive. Do you think these rules strike the right balance, or should there be more room for recreation? #Pets #FinleyRefuge #WildlifeProtection
