Project Overview
The 200 acre Murphy Southern Savanna Woodland Project will connect Murphy Hanrehan Prairie complex into a 675 acre fire management complex. The 190 acres of oak savanna and woodlands will be cleared of woody invasives and dead wood. The 10 acre acorn sites will create savanna in existing prairies providing a more natural transition from the woodlands to prairie. The restored Murphy Southern Savanna Woodland will increase the habitat for numerous SGCN listed birds and may encourage savanna specialist, such as, Red-headed Woodpeckers.
