Texas A&M Forest Service will establish 600 acres of longleaf pine and enhance an additional 4,150 acres of existing longleaf habitat with prescribed fire and removal of mid-story hardwoods on private lands in east Texas. Targeted technical assistance will engage small family forest owners in conservation programs that promote stewardship planning, prescribed burning, and longleaf restoration and enhancement, benefitting Bachman's sparrow, Louisiana pine snake, northern bobwhite quail and numerous other longleaf and grassland-dependent species.
