Salt Creek Wildlife Management Area Habitat Management Plan  

Abstract / Description

The primary purposes of the Salt Creek WMA are to: preserve, restore, and enhance both aquatic and terrestrial habitat for wildlife; protect cultural resources; and provide for recreational opportunities that are compatible with the purpose of a wetland ecosystem. Management of this area is directed to maintain a diversified plant community with a diversified structural component. Public access is managed to reduce disturbance during the critical reproductive period for wildlife that utilize this area, while a small area is open to year round use for wildlife viewing and observing the change in habitat through out the season. This approach will benefit many of the upland and wetland wildlife species that occupy or visit the area, while providing for recreational opportunities during prescribed waterfowl and pheasant hunting seasons.
