Impoundment Management
FOUR FRESHWATER IMPOUNDMENTS – Raymond, Shearness, Bear Swamp, and Finis – and each one is a little unique.
SPRING: WATER LEVELS ARE DRAWN DOWN providing mudflats for migrating shorebirds, germination and growth of lush vegetation. Wading birds feed on fish in the pools that form.
FALL: IMPOUNDMENTS FLOODED giving dabbling ducks access to the seeds of wetland plants.
