Spotlight
You may notice some signs of fire throughout the preserve, but do not be alarmed. We conducted prescribed burns in some of the loblolly pine forests during the winter and spring. This technique will help:
  • Improve wildlife habitat
  • Enhance and perpetuate pine forests
  • Reduce the risk of devastating fires
