Summary

Description

The Sunk Lake Natural Area Management Plan guides the longrange development of the Natural Area by identifying and integrating appropriate habitats, management strategies, program elements, and facilities which support the goals and objectives for which the Natural Area was established. The managment plan is divided into the following chapters: Legal Mandate and Assessment, Issue Assessment, Management Recommendations, Work Plan, and Monitoring. This plan constitutes a consensus between personnel from Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge and the Division of Ecological Services of the Tennessee Department of Conservation. This plan is a mandatory facet of a 10year lease between the Tennessee Department of Conservation and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to provide management and protection of Sunk Lake Natural Area.
