The Federal Government did not purchase this land from the State of Oregon and a building for a wildlife refuge is clearly not a needful building since it does not pertain to any of the enumerated powers delegated to the Federal Government. The People are therefore not trespassing on Federal Land. They are occupying their land and supporting the U.S. Constitution per Article VI Clause III. It is the Federal Government who is committing a crime.
