The area is managed primarily for quail and doves. Numerous brushy thickets and strips of native grasses provide ideal habitat for quail. Various crop fields, including sunflowers, provide food plots for quail and attract many doves.

Prescribed burning, native grass plantings, and cropping are the main management tools utilized on the area. Sloan Conservation Area is also home to numerous rabbits, as well as a limited number of deer and turkeys. From Sloane Conservation Area web site
