Red-cockaded Woodpecker Management

Noxubee Refuge's intensive red-cockaded woodpecker management program is notable and trend-setting. The number of clusters has doubled over the past 10 years. The 1/4-mile Woodpecker Trail goes through an active RCW cluster and offers the visitor an excellent opportunity to view this endangered bird.
An article in the July-August 2002 issue of Mississippi Outdoors Magazine featured the history and management of Red-cockaded Woodpeckers on Noxubee Refuge. This article appears courtesy of Mississippi Outdoors Magazine and Photographer Kermit Denver Laird. View article.
