Natural Resources at Falls Lake

All of the agencies that manage land here at Falls Lake do Natural Resource Management work. 
Why? Why not let nature “take its course”?

Well, our landscape is so altered by humans already from urban sprawl, various forms of pollution over the years, and wildfire suppression that nature needs a bit of help to “take its course” these days!

Techniques we may use:

Prescribed Burns

               Thinning   Grassland Management

             

 

         

Installing Nestboxes

         Wildlife Monitoring

               Planting
       

 

Somtimes, we alter habitats to improve them for more desirable species of plant or animal; like threatened or endangered species such as the endangered Smooth Coneflower, or maybe a particular game species like turkey.
Falls Lake and the lands that surround it are here to be
conserved and managed, not preserved and untouched.
