Summary

Description

The Lower Souris Migratory Waterfowl Refuge now known as the J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge is located just south of the Canadian border in North Dakota. The refuge was established and constructed by the CCC in 1935 to restore waterfowl habitat. This report gives an overview of events taking place on the refuge in November of 1937. A discussion of the unusual fall migration opens up the report followed by law enforcement on the refuge. The W.P.A project got started on the first of November; there are 34 men working under the setup. Predator control started up again, employing four CCC trappers. Other projects included feeding and upland shelters, corn harvest, cover mapping, bird banding, fire control, truck trails, highway 5 sloping, fencing, gauging stations, snow fences and tree planting. The report concludes with a photographs section.
