Reese Thompson is a sixth-generation Georgian who has been producing timber since the 1970s. Thompson believes it is especially important to preserve existing longleaf pine by managing it carefully. That includes thinning it occasionally and setting prescribed (controlled) fires periodically to stimulate the native ground cover, or understory. The USFWS Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program funding has helped him buy longleaf seedlings.
