Butte College Wildlife Refuge

Welcome to Butte College - the largest community college campus in California. Our entire 928.63 acres, situated in the foothills of the southern Cascade Range along the margin of the Great Central Valley, has been a designated wildlife refuge since it's creation in 1973. With a topographic range in elevations of 260 to 750 feet, our campus contains a mosaic of plant communities which provide food, lodging and breeding grounds for a great variety of wildlife and allow abundant resources for our programs in Agriculture, Natural Resources, Environmental Studies, Biology and other programs our college offers.
