In preserving this wetland habitat, plant, fish and wildlife species, including endangered species are provided a protected environment for spawning, breeding, nesting, or feeding. Populations of many wildlife species enjoy the excellent habitat provided by this wildlife management area. The natural food sources, shelters, and additional food sources provided by the Yalobusha Chapter of Ducks Unlimited are providing abundant nutrition and safe living space for all wildlife inhabitants. The establishment of this area and the volunteered management practices implemented have eliminated degradation of the land by motorized vehicles, increased wildlife populations, provided a safe resting/feeding area for migratory birds, and permanently presrved and expanded a large wetland. The work and continued enthusiasm of these volunteers have brought public attention to the project and created an activated citizenry dedicated to preserving environmental quality and protecting natural resources.
