Public Areas In Other Uses 

 That Should Be Designated 

 as Wildlife Refuges 



For a discussion of this subject see contributions by 

 the Forest Service and the National Park Service. 



Private Lands Employed 

 as a Habitat for Wildlife 



Nearly all privately owned lands bearing vegetation 

 are, or may be, employed as a habitat for some form 

 of wildlife. In many States no shooting is allowed on 

 certain areas, and these, therefore, function as wildlife 



refuges. Marsh areas, fence rows, and tree- or shrub- 

 bordered stream or ditch banks should be utilized for 

 wildlife production. Recommendations by tlie Biologi- 

 cal Survey for improving the farm environment for 

 wildlife have been set forth in a recent publication of 

 the Department of Agriculture. °
