Good Day Minnesota Ornithologists' Union! My name is Joshua Koelsch and I am the Assistant Area Wildlife Manager in Pine County. I thought it was worth sharing that I am currently drawing down an impoundment in Pine County. As of yesterday (8/16/2018) there were no mud flats visible, but i would suspect that some will become to be visible today or this weekend. The drawdown is occurring for management (possible winter or spring rx burn to reduce cattail competition and open pockets of vegetation up for waterfowl use) and maintenance (pond levels have failed). Site Location: Chengwatana State Forest; Pine County, MN Dates of drawdown: 8/15/2018- Spring (April/May) 2019 Directions: From Intersection of Pine County Highway 10 and Chengwatana Road, take Chengwatana Road approximately 2.5 miles and the impoundment will be on the north side of the road. ( google map directions from Interstate 35 (https://goo.gl/maps/GX97scRGnV12) Any questions please let me know!
