Established in 1975, Hillside National Wildlife Refuge supports hundreds of
wildlife species. Before what is now refuge land was transferred to the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, it was used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to
capture sediment from the Yazoo Basin Headwater area. Today, the refuge
includes hardwood forest bottomlands – with oaks and cottonwood trees in
higher elevations and willow, bald cypress and tupelo sloughs (or brakes) in
lower elevations.
