In this episode, we visit the McCurtain County Wilderness Area in far southeast Oklahoma. The 14,000 acre wilderness area was established as the Wildlife Department's first management area in 1918. It is the largest contiguous tract, short-leaf pine forest in the United States. It also is home to Oklahoma's only known population of the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker. Follow along as we visit the biologists that manage the area as we highlight their year-round management for the red-cockaded woodpecker.
