VICKSBURG, Miss. - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) Vicksburg District will host its annual Fish Habitat Day Feb. 4 at Lake Enid. Volunteers will construct and place fish shelters using wooden stakes, natural vegetation or recycled Christmas trees that provide bedding and cover for fish. Participants are invited to meet at the Enid Lake Field Office at 7 a.m. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Volunteers are encouraged to wear warm outdoor clothing and bring gloves. The winter months are generally ideal for this work because lower lake levels expose mudflats and provide open spaces to create new fish habitats. For more information, contact the Enid Lake Field Office at 662-563-4571. (USACE Vicksburg 01/09/23)
