BURNS, Ore. — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will spend roughly $4 million to clean, repair and upgrade the Oregon wildlife refuge that was the site of a 41-day armed occupation by ranchers earlier this year.
Fish and Wildlife Director Dan Ashe said he wants the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Burns to become a symbol to the rest of the country that collaboration, **t confrontation, endures, The Oregonian (http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/2016/03/repairs_to_malheur_refuge_will.html#incart_big-photo) reported. Department of the Interior Secretary Sally Jewell made similar statements during her visit to the refuge earlier this week.
