A recent (October 2000) purchase by The Nature Conservancy of Georgia.
A very large, though somewhat fire-excluded stand, with trees exceeding
250 years. Most floral and faunal elements remain, including abundant
wiregrass, gopher tortoises, and red-cockaded woodpeckers. In need of
an active ecological restoration program. The large size of the tract
(largest in Atlantic Coastal Plain), its inclusion in a large protected
landscape, and its location in the lower Atlantic Coastal Plain make it
unique in this list.
Threats: wildfire danger
