Pearl River
Wildlife Mississippi owns and manages more than 10,000 acres of forestland along the Pearl River and promotes conservation efforts along its length.
Wolf River
Wildlife Mississippi has restored and protected bottomland hardwood forests along the Wolf River. These habitats will improve water quality in the Wolf River drainage basin.
Longleaf Pine
Less than 5% of the original longleaf pine and wet pine savanna habitat (about 5.2 million acres) exists today along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. Wildlife Mississippi has restored approximately 17,200 acres of these habitats through planting and other means and enhanced another 27,697 acres, mainly through prescribed burning.
Bayou Pierre Conservation Initiative
We partnered with the German company Continental Tire to plant nearly 170,000 native hardwood trees along Bayou Pierre as part of a wetland restoration project.
Bottomland Hardwood & Wetland Restoration
Wildlife Mississippi is part of a coalition of conservation organizations, foundations, and government agencies working to restore and protect bottomland hardwood forests and wetlands in Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana delta regions.
Blackland Prairie Restoration Initiative
We provide outreach and technical assistance to private landowners interested in prairie restoration. We have restored approximately 9,500 acres of native prairie and enhanced another 5,880 acres.
Buttahatchie River
One of the last unchannelized, undammed rivers in the Southeast, the Buttahatchie River is important to many at-risk fish, mussels, turtles, migratory birds, and other wildlife. Wildlife Mississippi has restored and protected over 9,275 acres along the river, representing over 30 river miles.
Mississippi River Floodplain Restoration
Since 2012, we have worked with private landowners to reforest flood-prone land along the Mississippi River in six states.
