Protected LandWolf River Bayou II (Waupaca County)    July 29, 2010
Protected Land: Wolf River Bayou II (Waupaca County)
 

Location: Waupaca County

Area protected: 70 acres

This conservancy is one of two conservancies provided by the same property owner in Waupaca County and increases the buffer for the Mukwa State Wildlife Area, a public, undeveloped wildlife area of the State of Wisconsin.  This property lies adjacent to the Wolf River, which forms the western boundary.


The predominating natural community is floodplain forest (silver maple, red maple, green ash, cottonwood, American elm) with occasional specimens of swamp white oak, white pine and shagbark hickory.  An example of southern xeric forest (black/red oak, bur oak, black cherry) occurs on the very sandy hills on the north side of the property. Wet, wooded portions of the site contain cattails, bulrush, water plantain, and pickerel weed, elements of the shallow water marsh community.
