Of about 150 different rushes belonging to the 
Scirpus family, the Three-Square Rush is the most 
important wild duck food. It produces a sizable 
cluster of meaty seeds which the shallow water

on lake margins or along streams. It grows in 
marshes and firm rich soils as well as sand. Just wet 
soils at the water’s edge are ideal, or in waters to 
one foot in depth, never deeper. It grows in either
