The refuge is home to over 300 bird species, along with 40 mammal and 20 reptile and amphibian species, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers.
Established in 1987 through generous donations and land acquisitions, Trustom Pond protects threatened species such as the piping plover and offers a rich variety of habitats, from upland forests to barrier beaches. The ongoing efforts for land acquisition aim to further expand this vital ecological haven by an additional 1,280 acres.
