Vision & Mission Statement

Our vision is to sustain the life history requirements of mallard ducks in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley through healthy hardwood stands and other wetland complexes, and consistently offer the nation’s highest quality waterfowl hunting experiences on both private and publicly held properties.

Vision

The mission of Five Oaks Ag Research and Education Center is to sustain and increase a vanishing bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem using the life history requirements of the mallard duck as indicators of the health of the ecosystem, and develop scientific professionals and guide public and private forest management to increase this critical wetland ecosystem complex.
