Aquatic improvements were made to <br />Mittry Lake (located on the Colorado River <br />between Lagwta and Imperial Dams), <br />including fish stocking and fishing dikes. <br />Also, open water areas were created within <br />a marsh at the lake to improve habitat for <br />waterfowl and other species. Areas <br />surrounding the lake were revegetated. <br /> <br />. Mumme Fann, 1,200 acres ofland in the <br />Gila River floodplain near Gillespie Dam, <br />was purchased to provide a wildlife <br />management area. Much of the area will <br />be planted for wildlife feed; the remainder <br />will be planted with cottonwood, willow <br />trees, and other native vegetation. <br /> <br />. About 140 acres of Reclamation-acquired <br />lands in the Wellton area have been <br />revegetated with mesquite and other <br />planti; desirable for wildlife. <br /> <br />.
