Micro Habitats

Marshes and wet prairies criss-crossed with the tracks of trucks and ATVs are common throught J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area. These could be from hunters, land managers or both. They might be a tad unsightly, but they have the benefit of creating wet, open micro habitats. The ground retains either standing water or enough moisture in the soil for carnivorous bladderworts to flourish. In places where the water is deep enough, frogs and other amphibians might find a home.
