Dahomey National Wildlife Refuge is the largest remaining tract of bottomland hardwood forest in northwest Mississippi outside of the mainline levee. Located within the Mississippi Alluvial Valley, in the Yazoo River drainage basin, the refuge was established in 1991 to provide habitat for migratory birds and to protect wetlands. The 9,691-acre refuge was purchased from The Nature Conservancy, donated by the Mississippi Department of Transportation, and leased from the West Bolivar School Board. The North Mississippi Refuges Complex administers Dahomey National Wildlife Refuge, along with Coldwater River and Tallahatchie refuges.
