3. Wildlifeland

 This community is very important for wildlife refuge areas and as a turkey
 roosting area. It is well suited for waterfowl and wading birds. Aquatic
 animals may be found in large numbers. The permanent residents of cypress
 heads are relatively few, but much of the wildlife of the flatwoods is
 dependent on these ponds for breeding purposes.

4. Woodland

 Extensive drainage would be required, thereby destroying this community.

5. Urbanland

 This community is subject to periodic flooding and has severe limitations
 for urban development. Elaborate water management systems are required
 for urban uses. It is often difficult to establish vegetation on steep
 channel side slopes and infertile spoil. Special techniques such as
 mulching, special plants and unusual seeding and management techniques may
 be required. Without vegetation, erosion and sedimentation are a problem
 in some water management systems. Intensive management measures may also
 be necessary to maintain design capacity.

 Native plants can be used for beautification and require minimum
 establishment and maintenance. Some of the trees are bald cypress, button
 mangrove, loblolly bay, pond cypress, red maple, slash pine, and sweetgum,
 Some of the shrubs are buttonbush, coco plum, dahoon holly, and waxmyrtle.
 Some of the herbs are aster, golden canna, cardinal flower, pine lily,
 celestial lily, ferns, cone flower, cattail, rosemallow, iris, and
 meadowbeauty.

 The most important urban wildlife are songbirds, water fowl, and water
 adapted reptiles and mammals. Undisturbed areas provide good escape cover
 and travel routes for all forms of wildlife.
