From MDWFP
The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP), in partnership with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service through Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration, recently acquired approximately 17,816 acres in Issaquena and Warren counties from Anderson-Tully Company. The land will be managed by MDWFP and tentatively titled "Steele Bayou Wildlife Management Area". The property is a matrix of bayous, cypress sloughs, and well-managed bottomland hardwoods. The forested ecosystem represents a significant conservation investment for all Mississippians.
MDWFP and TNC will be working on a long-term management strategy with plans to open the WMA for the 2019–2020 hunting season.
