Managing your wetland

 

Many landowners are interested in managing their wetlands for waterfowl hunting or just for viewing. The following pages describe several common techniques for management of waterfowl including moist-soil management and green-tree reservoir management. However numerous other waterfowl management techniques can be implemented on your property such as the construction and placement of wood duck boxes or mallard nest baskets. It does not matter if you have large wetlands or small, if they have the proper ratio of open water to emergent or woody vegetation you can have waterfowl.

To see wetland management in action view the scenarios in management application. In addition you can find many resources for wetlands management in the section Where to go for help.
