A
managed marsh unit on the Refuge |
Three marsh units have
been constructed on the Refuge; designed to allow for control of
the water level in these important wetland habitats. These units
are dry by the end of summer and flooded in the fall. This practice,
called Moist Soil Management, encourages the growth of naturally
occurring seed bearing plants. The rising water levels in the fall
cause the dropped seeds of marsh plants to float, making them available
to arriving winter waterfowl. |
