WMA FOREST MANAGEMENT PRESCRIPTIONS

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Wildlife Division?s Forestry Program prepares wildlife/forest management prescriptions for each forest management compartment on the Department's Wildlife Management Area (WMA) lands (Department owned properties only, not leased lands).  The prescription (Rx) is our compartment management document.  The compartment Rx details what the technical staff recommends to address maintaining or enhancing habitat components within the compartment. It contains information on the present condition of the forested habitat, soils within the compartment, any unique or natural areas within the compartment, and particular concerns that have been addressed relative to that particular compartment or WMA. The Rx addresses the forested habitat for the short and long term, with prescribed practices drawn out for the current entry period, and any necessary references for future entries so noted. 
  
The prescriptions posted here are now available for your review and comment.  Comments should be provided to Kenny Ribbeck, Biologist Programs Manager, Forestry Section/Wildlife Division at the address (physical or e-mail) noted below by January 15, 2007.
