Jack Miner Foundation

WELCOME TO JACK MINER

Jack Miner became the founder of the migratory waterfowl refuge system by creating his Sanctuary in 1904.

Five years later he pioneered the tagging of migrating waterfowl. The recovery data was instrumental in the Migratory Bird Treaty of 1916 between the U.S. & Canada as there were no government banding programs at this time.
