The refuge is an important stopover site for migratory birds and protects habitat for the Federally threatened piping plover and State-listed least tern. The largest eastern red cedar savanna in New England lies within the refuge boundary.

The refuge, which is cooperatively managed with The Trustees of Reservations, encompasses 24 acres at Great Point. Nantucket NWR is an un-staffed unit of the Eastern Massachusetts NWR Complex.
