Mack Wildlife Area
Mack Wildlife Area is found in northcentral Outagamie County in the Township of Bovina. The property is approximately 1,350 acres in size.
The area is flat since it was once a glacial lakebed. It is comprised of marsh, aspen, swamp hardwoods, old fields, and lowland brush. An inactive railroad bisects the southern section of the wildlife area and is slated for a rails to trails project.
Find Mack Wildlife Area 2 miles east of Shiocton on HWY 54. There are two parking areas available for the wildlife area, both being on Herman Road.
Management
Management Objective
The Mack WA is managed to provide opportunities for public hunting, trapping and other outdoor recreation while protecting the qualities of the unique native communities and associated species found on the property. Bottomland hardwoods are maintained by favoring silver maple and swamp white oak while retaining other native tree and understory species. The aspen cover type is maintained where currently found through timber management. Grassland and shrub-carr types are maintained and improved, where feasible, through mowing and prescribed fire. Populations of invasive species are controlled or eliminated by cutting, pulling, burning, herbicide treatment and/or bio-control.
