After a challenging stretch of unfavorable weather, we’ve finally been able to take advantage of better conditions and make progress on our prescribed fire work at the Longleaf Stewardship Center.

The burn team has been hard at work across the landscape, but having a supervisor as cool as Bonnie definitely makes the job a little more enjoyable. As you can see in the last photo, she takes her supervisory duties very seriously.

Turtle nesting season is officially on, so please keep an eye open for turtles crossing roads. A few days ago, Kiley spotted a turtle flipped on its back on the side of the road and turned around to help it out, only to discover that it was a cheeseburger.

Last week, our Science Initiative team wrapped up fieldwork for a project monitoring hydrology in wetlands in the Florida Panhandle and southwestern Georgia. As this project winds down, we removed our monitoring wells and other equipment from study wetlands - a sometimes laborious process!

The wetlands involved in this research provide critical breeding habitat for many amphibian species, including flatwoods salamanders, but are often degraded by long-term fire suppression and exclusion. The data collected during this project will be used to assess how vegetation changes impact hydrology and guide restoration activities based on a combination of hydrologic, vegetation, and landscape characteristics.

SPOT-ting the difference: Did you know that, much like human fingerprints, each Spotted Turtle has a unique pattern of spots on its carapace? No two are alike! Also, the number of spots will continue to increase as each turtle ages.
