Project 1: The proposed contract is to remove an estimated 33 acres of overgrowth and dead timber inside the Green Tree unit with the Wetland Development Unit. All overgrowth and dead timber are to be stacked tightly into piles. Project 2: 15 acres of drainage ditches will need to be reworked so that a brush hog can mow them up and down. All drainage ditches along the dikes will need to be sloped to the drainage tubes. All ground disturbance will be leveled so that a tractor and brush hog can be used to maintain the cleared area. This project will take place inside of a wetland unit, meaning the ground is exposed to water six (6) months out of the year. Nat all projects will be completed as planned due to availability of dry weather. All the above-described projects will take place in dry times of the year and are to be completed before June 30, 2025. Work will be done on the Wister Wildlife Management Area in the Fourche Maline Wetland Development Unit located in Leflore County, Oklahoma.
