Bogue Chitto NWR is a bottomland hardwood forest consisting of a number of sloughs and bayous. The production
of valuable wildlife foods is dependent on the varying degrees of inundation during the growing season. A variety of woody
plant species occur in these periodically flooded areas, and all exhibit some degree of survival in soils which are inadequately
