Location Description: |
The primary management emphasis at RBWA is to provide food crops and nesting habitat for upland game birds. Secondary management emphasis includes enhancing riparian habitat and the riparian-desert upland ecotone.
|
Records / History: |
the property was purchased with Federal Aid money for wildlife purposes. In the 1950s, RBWA was selected as one of two areas along the Gila River with the greatest potential for waterfowl habitat enhancement. Most of RBWA including the Black Butte parcels was purchased from private entities in a series of transactions from 1951 to 1973. Six parcels totaling 1,511 acres are deeded to the Arizona Game and Fish Commission (Commission). RBWA also includes 170 acres of lands under the jurisdiction of Public Land Order Number 1015 (PLO 1015). The PLO 1015 land has been managed by the Commission since 1954 through a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS).
