developed to expand grazing.
Establishment of food plots will be increased annually by 100% (1 acre) over 3 years. A large amount of the area consists
of sandy soil that is not produc ve for crop produc on, so more food plots is not feasible on the WMA.
Tree clearing in recent years has removed most invading species. Maintenance opera ons will take place on
approximately 5 acres annually to keep invading species off the area.
Legumes and early successional fields will increase annually by 137% (increase of 20.5 acres) over a period of 2 years.
Majority of addi onal sites that will be inter-seeded with legumes or managed as Early Successional habitat are
con ngent on cedar tree clearing projects.
