  • Landowners also will learn the benefits of planting longleaf pines, which provide excellent habitat for many species including wild turkeys, white-tailed deer, quail, indigo snakes, red-cockaded woodpeckers and gopher tortoises.

  • During the workshop, participants will learn about the benefits of prescribed fire for wildlife and timber management.

  • Landowners and managers also will spend time with experts learning how to take advantage of cost-share programs available to private landowners, how to thin pine plantations to improve wildlife habitat, manage hardwood stands for wildlife and timber, manage food plots to attract wildlife, maintain road systems and more.

  • The cost of the workshop is $10, and the program runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Participation is limited to the first 50 people registered. The registration deadline is May 20.
