interpretation would be promoted by
providing programs and partnerships
with local schools. Wildlife observation
and photography opportunities would
be expanded, including construction of
photo blinds and observation towers.
Information guides and signage that
highlight refuge management programs,
as well as unique wildlife habitats,
would also be developed. The refuge
would also undertake efforts to improve
road maintenance in order to provide
better visitor access.
A visitor center and headquarters
office would be constructed on the
refuge, with space for interpretation,
environmental education, and staff.
Research studies on the refuge would
continue to be fostered and partnerships
developed with universities and other
agencies, with the refuge providing
needed resources and study sites.
Research on the refuge would also
provide benefits to conservation efforts
throughout the Lower Mississippi River
Valley to preserve, enhance, restore, and
manage bottomland hardwood habitat.
Inventorying and monitoring of birds,
freshwater mussels, reptiles, and
amphibians would be continued and
expanded in order to assess population
trends, correlate with environmental
pressures, and provide baseline data to
be used in development of appropriate
management strategies.
Providing additional staff (e.g.,
wildlife biologist, biological technician,
outdoor recreation planner, seasonal
maintenance worker, and full-time law
enforcement officer) would enable the
Service to fully develop and manage
fish and wildlife resources and habitats,
an offer environmental educational
programs that promote a greater
understanding of both natural and
cultural resources.
Under this alternative, the refuge
would continue to acquire lands within
the present acquisition boundary for
compatible wildlife-dependent public
recreation and environmental education
opportunities.
Tracts that provide better-quality
habitat and connectivity to existing
refuge lands would receive higher
priority for acquisition. The refuge
would use other important acquisition
tools, including land exchanges,
partnerships with conservation
organizations, conservation easements
with adjacent landowners, and leases/
cooperative agreements.
