Florida Landowner and Land Manager Field Day

About Our Organization

April 2015 the Okefenokee Osceola Longleaf Implementation Team, the Southern Fire Exchange, Osceola National Forest, Florida Forest Service, and others hosted a workshop and field tour for landowners and land managers near Lake City, Florida. The morning workshop included a wide variety of presentations related to longleaf pine flatwoods management and restoration. Most of the presentations are linked for download below.

In the afternoon the field tour visited a mechanical fuel treatment and prescribed fire demonstration hosted by the Osceola National Forest. Following several presentations and discussions the field tour continued to a private property near Sanderson, Florida. On the private property the landowner shared his extensive experience in pine flatwoods restoration and multiple-use management.
