Frog Bayou enhancements continue to improve WMA |
 DYER
- One of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's newest wildlife
management areas continues to improve with the recent completion of
signage and parking areas. The Frog Bayou Wildlife Management Area, a
product of the Wetland Reserve Program, will bring hunting opportunities
to the western Arkansas River Valley area.The project is the result of a partnership between the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Ducks Unlimited and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The recent construction work included the instillation of 2 project signs and 4 parking areas on the WMA. Work on the area began in 2004 with the planting of native trees on 400 acres of the 819-acre management area. Levees were formed to create shallow-water, moist soil habitat for waterfowl resting and feeding. The area is expected to be so popular with hunters that the first few years will be monitored closely to safeguard the resource and recognize if a permit system needs to be enacted. Motorized boats are not allowed on the area, so hunters must use kayaks, canoes or johnboats operated only with manpower to reach their hunting locations. |
