MANAGEMENT AND CONSERVATION 



Shuler (1977b, 1977c, personal communica- 

 tion) suggests discontinuing of harvesting of bot- 

 tomland hardwoods in the I 'On Swamp, Francis 

 Marion National Forest, South Carolina. R. 

 Hooper (personal communication) suggests in- 

 creased cutting to open up the canopy and thus 

 allow secondary growth of shrubs and vines. 



Extensive studies by U.S. Forest Service biol- 

 ogists Urbston and Hooper and Clemson Universi- 

 ty zoologist Hamel are underway to better define 

 the status and requirements of the Bachman's 

 warbler.
