sensitive joint-vetch. We would
emphasize maintaining and restoring
the forest integrity of tidal freshwater
marsh, tidal swamp forest, the James
River and associated backwater habitats,
and mature mixed mesic forest habitats
through increased monitoring and data
collection, and a more aggressive
response to habitat changes associated
with invasive species, global climate
change, or storm events. We would also
convert 200 acres of grassland habitat to
transitional mixed mesic forest habitat.
This alternative would enhance our
visitor services programs to improve
opportunities for environmental
education and wildlife-dependent
recreation. The improvements would
include expanding the on-refuge
environmental education program
through a partnership with the JRA and
enhancing interpretive materials. We
would also evaluate opportunities to
expand the hunting program to include
turkey hunting, a 5-day hunt for deer,
and a youth deer or turkey hunt.
We would also expand our
conservation, research, monitoring, and
management partnerships to help
restore and conserve the refuge.

finding of no significant impact.
