Seedlings were planted in quarter-acre plots Plantings included 80
native pecan tree seedlings to provide woody cover and food for wildlife,
and 600, to 800 seedlings of other varieties of native trees and brush
These include cedar elm, western soapberry, osage orange and Texas sophora
"These are all native varieties of plants and trees, so we expect good
results," said Litton "We also have the capability to irrigate the
seedlings to help them get a good start "
The Granger area is located on the shoreline of Granger Lake, some five
miles east of Granger
Litton said the Corps of Engineers used $23,000 earned from the Type II
public hunting program for habitat improvements on the 22,000 acre Ray
Roberts area enrolled in the Type II program the past two hunting seasons
Local farmers were contracted to disk some 447 acres and plant corn on
another 135 acres Litton said the corn will be left unharvested to
provide wildlife food and cover A portion of the corn acreage will be
shredded after the waterfowl season to provide waterfowl food, he said
Litton said the habitat work should enhance the area which provided good
waterfowl and quail hunting for Type II hunters last season
The area surrounds Lake Ray Roberts and is located roughly between
Sanger and Pilot Point, north of Denton
Type II hunting permits for the 1989-90 hunting season will not be
available for purchase until late summer, officials said
