TextPublication details: 1979Online resources: Abstract: The usefulness of a channel cutting machine, called the Cookie Cutter,in habitat manipulation for waterfowl management was examined on three freshwater impoundments in the Nova Scotia - New Brunswick border region during late April to mid-September 1979. Various patterns of cut and amounts of removal of emergent vegetation were examined to determine the optimum treatment.
