A combination of historical and recent data along with recent field evaluations (2016) were used to evaluate the nature and extent spot activity, and the potential for SPB outbreaks in the immediate and near future. Based upon: recent SPB activity, pheromone trapping results, large acreages of susceptible forest type, and potential losses on the National Forest and neighboring state and private lands, FHP recommends a SPB suppression project for the NFMS in FY 2017, particularly on the Bienville and Homochitto. FHP also recommends implementing more comprehensive and integrated pest management strategies on the NFMS to prevent or minimize impacts of future SPB outbreaks. The most effective measure being to increase the magnitude (acres) of thinning performed on the overabundance of high hazard stands that currently exist on the Bienville, Holly Springs, Homochitto, and Tombigbee NFs.

At the close of 2016, the Bienville exhibited 318 separate SPB spots affecting approximately 345 acres of forest. Cut & Leave by chainsaw crews was eventually implemented on 134

  • In Mississippi National Forests
    SUMMARY Little is known about the distribution of freshwater mussels in Mississippi national forests. Review of the scant available infor- mation revealed that the national forests harbor a diverse mus- sel fauna of possibly 46 or more species (including confirmed, probable, and potential occurrences). Occurrence of 33 species is confirmed. Because of the geographic, physiographic, and drain- age basin diversity of Mississippi national forests, there is con- siderable variation in mussel communities among the national forests. Three distinct fauna1 groups are represented in Missis- sippi national forests, each with a characteristic assemblage of species. One species of potential occurrence is a federally endan- gered species, 1 species of confirmed occurrence is a candidate for listing, and 11 species of confirmed or probable occurrence are considered of special concern by the American Fisheries Society (Williams and others 1993). None of the national forests have been surveyed adequately, and specific population data are almost com- pletely lacking. This review of existing information represents the first of a three-phase program needed to comprehensively evalu- ate the mussel resources of Mississippi national forests. Phase two involves an exhaustive, qualitative field survey of Mississippi national forests to document precise distribution of species and location of important communities. Phase three consists of a quan- titative study of important communities in order to assess repro- ductive characteristics and viability and to establish baseline density estimates for monitoring of future population trends.

  • Pdf St. Catherine
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service St. Catherine Creek National Wildlife Refuge St. Catherine Creek National Wildlife Refuge was established in January 1990 to preserve, improve and create habitat for waterfowl. Intensive management programs on the refuge provide excellent winter habitat and resting areas for waterfowl in the Lower Mississippi River Valley. Outdoor enthusiasts find the diverse habitat on the refuge ideal for fishing, hunting, photography, hiking and bird- watching. There are at least 106 species of birds on the refuge. Encompassing 24,442 acres, with a potential size of 34,256 acres, the refuge is located in Adams County in southwest Mississippi. The This blue goose, headquarters lies 10 miles south of designed by J. N. Natchez, Mississippi. The western “Ding” Darling, has become the symbol of refuge boundary is formed by the the National Wildlife Mississippi River. The eastern Refuge System. boundary meanders along the loessal bluffs and the southern boundary is the Homochitto River. [Loessial bluffs are formed from deposits of silt transported by the wind.] Habitat Habitat on the refuge offers a myriad of ecological niches for wildlife. Cypress swamps and hardwood forests vegetated with oak, gum, elm, ash, cottonwood and pine comprise thirty percent of the refuge. Ten percent of the acreage is open water, while the remaining property consists of cleared land and batture land. [Batture land is land created when a river (in this case the Mississippi River) alters its course and/or deposits sediment.] White-tailed deer Kim Kaiser Rains and backwater flooding fill depressions and basins in low areas creating excellent habitat for waterfowl as well as many thousands of shorebirds and wading birds.
