The Augusta Wildlife Area is a tract of protected land located in Eau Claire County, Wisconsin, managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR).[1] The land to be used for the Wildlife Area was first acquired in 1942, and the land contained within it has grown from 2,020 acres (820 ha) to the 2,503 acres (1,013 ha) that it is now, with an ultimate goal of controlling 2,640 acres (1,070 ha). The Wildlife Area falls within the bounds of both the Western Coulee and Ridges Ecological Landscape[2] and the Central Sand Plains Ecological Landscape.[3]

Flora and Fauna

There are several different types of trees in the Wildlife Area, including white pine, red pine, aspen, jack pine and red maple.[4]

Tree Cover Type Acreage
Cover Type Acres Percentage Cover
Aspen 362 32%
Jack Pine 144 13%
Miscellaneous 94 8%
Oak 394 34%
Red Maple/Central Hardwoods 103 9%
White Pine 52 4%
Total Acreage 1,149 100%

Besides trees, there are many other notable flora to be found within the boundaries of the Wildlife Area, such as reed canary grass, cattails, blue flag iris, sphagnum moss and bur-reed.

The area was founded in part to provide for the production of geese and ducks, and as such there is a sizable population of both in the Wildlife Area. In addition to the various waterfowl that are found in the area,(such as the green-winged teal and American Wigeon) bears, deer, cottontail rabbits, coyotes, otters and sandhill cranes have also been observed in the area.[5][6][7][8]
