Kickapoo Creek.
Fed by springs that gush from
deep within the earth's breast,
the waters tumble and spill over
boulders that were old when
Prehistoric man stalked the
ground.
With its rock outcroppings
and pebbled bottom, the stream
is more Arkansas than Texas. It
is rare to find scenery of this
magnitude in flatland East
Texas.
Taking its name from an In-
dian tribe, Kickapoo Creek
snakes its way through a St.
Regis forest known for its abun-
dance of wildlife because, down
through the years, we've careful-
ly managed it and other St.
Regis forests to sustain a variety
of animals while still growing
enough trees for wood products.
While the pine tree is the
backbone of the East Texas
economy, it isn't much of a
wildlife food by itself. So to
maintain the balance between
wildlife and tree-farming, we're
designing our pine plantations
to leave sufficient hardwoods
and other growth along streams
and drains to serve wildlife and,
at the same time, control ero-
sion.
A freshly-harvested forest
area, with nutrient-rich browse
sprouting from the sun-warmed
earth, is literally a "super-
market" for wildlife during the
first six to eight years. So we've
learned to take advantage of
this cycle by rotating cutting
areas within each forest. As one
area runs low on browse,
another takes its place. With
food always available, wildlife
remains in the area longer.
Elsewhere, we're managing
river bottom lands—traditionally
the best for wildlife—for hard-
woods and game. We've also
opened thousands of acres for
free hunting, improved game
and fish populations on our
lands, and set aside special
areas for rare and endangered
species.
And, to see that our forests
always sustain wildlife, we
operate a fully-staffed wildlife
management department with
trained biologists to advise our
forest managers.
We don't just
work here...
we live here.
Southland Division and
Texas Timberlands Division.
