Linear Wildlife Openings

One of the recommendations that was in our Forest Stewardship Plan was to make and/or widen roads on our property.  These roads provide a firebreak and also provide openings for wildlife.  This is a road that we added with the help of the Georgia Forestry Commission (GFC).  It is also a linear wildlife opening that provides connectivity between the creek and acreage where mast trees and native warm season grasses were planted.
