Kulm Wetland Management District, Wetland Management District in south-central North Dakota, United States.
The Kulm Wetland Management District is a protected area in south-central North Dakota that manages wetlands and waterfowl habitats across several counties. The land includes shallow lakes, marshes, and prairie ponds that provide homes for migrating birds and waterfowl.
The district was established in 1971 to protect wetlands and bird habitats in the Prairie Pothole Region. This creation was part of broader efforts to preserve natural migration routes for waterfowl and other birds.
The district continues traditional land management practices through prescribed fires and rotational grazing, methods that reflect the natural cycles of prairie ecosystems.
Walking and driving through marked routes provide the main ways to explore the area. Visitors should dress for variable weather and be prepared for open, exposed terrain with few shelters.
The James River flows through the eastern section, creating a natural corridor where thousands of waterfowl gather during migration season. This concentration makes the area a significant spot for bird watchers.
