Detailed description is The Cache River is a 92mi waterway in southernmost Illinois, in a region sometimes called Little Egypt. The basin spans 737sqmi and six counties: Alexander, Johnson, Massac, Pope, Pulaski and Union. Located at the convergence of four major physiographic regions, the river is part of the largest complex of wetlands in Illinois. The Cache River Wetlands — America's northernmost cypress/tupelo swamp — harbors 91 percent of the state’s high quality swamp and wetland communities. It provides habitat for more than 100 threatened and endangered species in Illinois. In 1996, the Cache was designated a Wetland of International Importance by the Ramsar Convention.A significant portion of the Cache River Wetlands are protected by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Cypress Creek National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1990, covers 15000acre of aquatic and riparian habitat, and is eventually planned to expand to 35500acre. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources' Cache River State Natural Area protects another 14489acre. And local landowners, through Wetlands Reserve Program easements with Natural Resources Conservation Service, protect an additional 13500acre of restored wetlands. Also through NRCS, landowners are using a variety of conservation practices, such as conservation tillage, grassed waterways and reforestation; many of these practices are through NRCS’ Environmental Quality Incentives and Wildlife Habitat Programs. In all, more than 45000acre of private lands are using some sort of NRCS conservation program in the Cache River Watershed.
