Enhance the natural beauty and productivity of your land while creating thriving habitat for deer, turkey, quail, and other wildlife through strategic land management.
Alabama's wildlife populations depend on healthy, diverse habitats. Without proper management, forests become overgrown, native plants decline, and wildlife struggles to survive.
Fire is one of nature's most powerful tools for maintaining healthy wildlife habitat. For thousands of years, Native Americans used fire to shape the landscape, and many of Alabama's wildlife species evolved to depend on periodic burning.
Did You Know? A single acre of diverse wildlife habitat can support 10x more wildlife than an overgrown, unmanaged forest.
What happens to unmanaged land
Forests become thick and overgrown, blocking sunlight
Native grasses and forbs disappear, replaced by thick brush
Insect populations decline, reducing food for birds and game
Deer, turkey, and quail populations decline
Invasive species take over native plants
Strategic land management through prescribed burning creates the diverse, healthy habitats that wildlife needs to thrive.
Fire opens up the forest canopy, allowing sunlight to reach the forest floor and promote the growth of native grasses, forbs, and legumes that wildlife depends on.
Fresh spring growth after a burn attracts insects—the primary food source for turkey poults, quail chicks, and many other wildlife species during critical nesting periods.
Prescribed fire stimulates the growth of native legumes, wildflowers, and browse plants that provide high-quality food for deer, turkey, and other game species year-round.
Many invasive plants can't tolerate fire. Regular prescribed burns help control sweetgum, privet, and other invasive species that crowd out native wildlife food plants.
Fire creates natural edges where forest meets openings—these ecotones are among the most productive wildlife habitats, supporting species that need both cover and food.
Fire releases nutrients locked in dead vegetation back into the soil, triggering a flush of nutritious new plant growth that's irresistible to wildlife.
Our wildlife habitat improvement strategies are backed by decades of research and field experience. We create customized management plans based on your land's unique characteristics.
We use carefully planned prescribed fires to create and maintain early successional habitat. Timing is everything—we burn when conditions will achieve your specific wildlife goals.
Before any work begins, we evaluate your property to identify what habitat improvements will benefit wildlife most on your specific land.
We prepare and maintain food plots that provide supplemental nutrition during critical periods when natural forage is scarce.
Wildlife habitat requires ongoing management. We help you maintain your property year after year for lasting results.
Alabama is home to incredible wildlife diversity. Our habitat management practices support a wide range of species.
Improved browse, cover, and forage quality for Alabama's premier big game species
Nesting habitat, brood range, and insect-rich feeding areas for turkey populations
Early successional habitat critical for quail recovery across Alabama
Bare ground and weed seed production for excellent dove hunting opportunities
Plus songbirds, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and more—all benefiting from improved habitat
Whether you manage 50 acres or 500 acres, we can help you create the diverse, healthy habitat that wildlife needs to thrive.
