Pine Plantation
The majority of the upland property consists of planted slash
and loblolly pines, both young stands with trees that range in
age from 6 to 14 years and older stands of timber that were
planted 19 to 34 years ago. Commercial thinning, hydrologic
restoration, and reintroduction of a natural fire regime will be
required to restore the natural vegetative communities and to
enhance wildlife habitat. Where appropriate flatwoods now planted with slash pine
will eventually be reforested with longleaf pine.
