Holt Collier National Wildlife Refuge

The Holt Collier National Wildlife Refuge is one of seven refuges in the Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge Complex and is a 1,400-acre (567 ha) National Wildlife Refuge located on Bogue Phalia near Darlove, Mississippi.

The Refuge was named after Holt Collier (1846–1936), a Confederate veteran, cowboy, and tracker; and was created in order to provide a habitat and resources for over 250 songbirds.

Before 2004 the Farmers Home Administration managed the lands for the purpose of conservation until they were transferred to the U.S.
