The study was part of an attempt to determine the native wildlife food plants which could be used in a program of intensive wildlife management in Connecticut. Food value, as measured by proximate chemical analysis, was felt to be one of the more important factors in the series of criteria set up for the evaluation. The specific objective was the attempted correlation of the chemical analyses of 110 wildlife foods with utilization as reported in the literature on food habits of upland-game birds and water-fowl. No significant correlation could be found. 8 plants were analyzed in the fall and again in mid-winter to determine if seasonal progression had a measurable effect on nutritive value. No significant change was recorded. Literature was cited which pointed out factors pertinent to the study and suggestions for further research were made.
