ATTENTION HUNTERS: The Natural Resources Branch is beginning its prescribed fire season and will continue through the end of June. It is the hunter’s responsibility to fireproof their stands, blinds, or game cameras so they are not damaged during wild and/or prescribed fires.

About

Our goal is to provide Fort Eisenhower and the CSRA with safe, quality hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation opportunities by managing the ecosystems and biodiversity through conservation, protection, restoration, and sustainment, all-the-while supporting the military mission. The Fort Eisenhower Fish & Wildlife Program is responsible for all species of game, non-game, and nuisance animals. We ensure compliance with laws and regulations such as the Endangered Species Act (ESA), Sikes Act, and administer the Hunting & Fishing Program.

Training Area Recreation

Fort Eisenhower offers a variety of nature trails, two road bicycle routes, and one unpaved bicycle route through the Natural Resources Management Area.

SANDY RUN NATURE TRAIL & WILDLIFE VIEWING AREA

Located along Rowe Lane, this natural resource hot-spot includes a 1/2 mile handicapped-accessible trail and a two-story viewing platform located along a 25-acre natural beaver pond, affording ample opportunity for nature viewing and environmental education. The trails location within a wetland and adjacent to an upland sand hills region provides a vivid representation of the variety of habitats on Fort Eisenhower. In addition, this wetland provides suitable habitat for some of the rare and protected species on the installation.

 

Education & Outreach

Our Fish & Wildlife and Forestry staff are available for small to large groups consisting of soldiers, students, and the general public.  We use educational tools such as animal skulls, plants, display boards, and LIVE ANIMALS!!  If you would like to host a nature trail at your location, please contact us well in advance as to allow preparation for the event.
