Bayou De View Wildlife Mgmt. Area
Bayou De View Wildlife Mgmt. Area is a preserve that may be found in the northernmost part of Arkansas. It takes up a considerable chunk of the muddy bayou, formerly a river known as Bayou de View. The wildlife management area is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, including various natural trees such as pine, hickory, tulip poplar, and bald cypress.
Numerous animal species, such as black bears, beavers, cougars, armadillos, possums, raccoons, deer, and a variety of snakes, including venomous species, rely on this habitat for survival. It is essential to their survival. The possibility of seeing the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, a species of bird considered extinct, brought more interest to the region.
Nature of Bayou De View Wildlife Mgmt. Area
Bayou De View Wildlife Mgmt. Area is known for its diverse and abundant wildlife, wetland habitats, birdwatching opportunities, fishing, hunting, hiking, and conservation efforts. Tupelo, Bald Cypress, Hickory, Pine, and other native hardwood and softwood trees occupy the area.
Some of North America’s largest remaining bottomland hardwood forests surround this bayou. The area is inhabited by a wide variety of wildlife, including black bears, beavers, cougars, armadillos, possums, raccoons, and deer.
Water moccasins, copperheads, timber rattlesnakes, and no venomous water snakes, including diamondbacks, bands, broadbands, and ordinary water snakes, all call this region home. Even though they are familiar, these snakes tend to be timid and docile.
