New research from the University of Georgia and Tall Timbers, a Research Station & Land Conservancy suggests that prescribed fire is a powerful tool for controlling invasive feral hogs in the Southeast. 🔥

By tracking wild pigs across 50,000 acres in South Georgia and North Florida, scientists discovered that feral hogs heavily prefer fire-suppressed areas with dense, unburned mid-story cover. Notably, feral hog activity spikes significantly once a site goes more than three years without a burn, suggesting that maintaining a frequent fire return interval could help reduce feral pig use of an area.

Some times it’s people or events that define chapters in life. Sometimes it’s a dog. Baylee was definitely a chapter of life filled with memories. There was only one Baylee. She was the best at throwing the tennis ball back at you! 13 years young. Good bye Baylee.

Before the final release of quail on Tuesday, colleagues from Tall Timbers radio tagged a subset of coveys. Data will be collected on overwinter survival and compared to the demographics of wild quail post habitat restoration.

Listen, learn, and discuss promoting avian biodiversity such as Bachman's Sparrow, Loggerhead Shrike, and Red-cockaded Woodpecker (and many others). Topics addressed will also cover how promoting these species can help other species like the Gopher Tortoise.

Timber harvest has begun on the Afternoon course!
The past 4 months our friends with Tall Timbers, a Research Station & Land Conservancy have been hard at work collecting preliminary data, marking historic locations, and a whole host of other land management activities.

The timber crew opened this section up in just a few hours this morning. An exciting peek into what we will see at the completion of the project.
