The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission heard a presentation at today’s scheduled meeting about the upcoming restoration of Dave Donaldson Black River Wildlife Management Area, culminating in a two-day agenda focused on updates planned for facilities in northeast Arkansas in the near future. Dave Donaldson WMA covers roughly 36.7 square miles of forested landscape in northeast Arkansas that provides critical winter habitat for waterfowl and many migratory bird species, as well as year-round habitat for a host of resident wildlife, including white-tailed deer, squirrels, rabbits, and a robust nongame wildlife population. The area is one of Arkansas’s premier duck hunting destinations, with an intricate system of levees and water- control structures designed to provide huntable water in winter. Since that time, changes to the AGFC’s water-management strategy to ensure the long-term health of the bottomlands hardwoods have facilitated the need for change.
