33. Burgess, H. H. 1969. Habitat management on a mid-continent waterfowl refuge.
J. Wildl. Manage. 33:843-847.
Management practices used to increase waterfowl use of Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge, MO, are described. Prescribed winter burning, summer grazing or haying, and fall flooding proved to be an excellent sequence for converting wet prairies into migratory waterfowl habitat. Fire removed overstory or altered plant succession prior to employment of the other techniques. [K-L-S]
