About 20-25 acres of hay will be harvested each year after the peak nesting season. 

 This will improve condition of nesting cover by removing decadent grasses, maintain 

 vigor of alfalfa, and minimize invasion of noxious weeds. 



The water delivery system will be maintained in a fashion that will allow periodic 

 refilling of the existing wetlands. Ditches will be pulled every few years as needed to 

 allow free water flow. Ditch banks will be treated to prevent the establishment and 

 spread of noxious weed communities.
