The refuge serves as an important wintering habitat for waterfowl such as wood duck, green-winged teal, and the hooded merganser, while providing a permanent residence for muskrat, raccoon, and many other species.

Beaverton Creek Wetlands Park
Beaverton Creek Wetlands is a diverse, 15-acre wetland located near the intersection of Tualatin Valley Highway and SW 153rd Ave in Beaverton — a short walk from Tualatin Hills Nature Park. A quarter-mile paved trail borders the southern edge of the wetland and offers a pleasant jaunt amidst plenty of year-round bird activity. Search for songbirds in the shrubs, kingfishers, herons, and winter waterfowl lingering near the water, and raptors circling overhead. On a clear day, Mount Hood can be seen to the east.

Beaver Marsh Open Space
Part of the Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway, Beaver Marsh Open Space is a 32-acre site in the Oakbrook Neighborhood which includes a walkway. This site is great for bird watching. The Beaver Marsh represents one of the last remaining transitional wooded wetlands of the Burnt Bridge Creek watershed. West of the creek, within the preserve, is found a very marshy area which represents a significant aquifer recharge system. It is impassable during the rainy season. A four-foot wide gravel-based trail makes a delightful loop through the upland Douglas fir forest.
