FWS McGregor District Mast Hardwood Floodplain Forest Community

Due to a gap in information on regeneration of hard-mast trees in the floodplain, interpretation was completed of existing 8�/pixel aerial imagery delineating a detailed hardwood forest spatial dataset within the floodplain forest of the Fish and Wildlife Upper Mississippi National Wildlife & Fish Refuge, McGregor District. The detailed map of bottomland hardwoods will allow for the identification of existing habitat and assess bottomland hardwood tree patterns to enable management of these areas.
