Prescribed fire is a safe way to apply a natural process, ensure ecosystem health, and reduce wildfire risk.
A wide variety of wildlife are regularly monitoried on Tall Timbers, including the gopher tortoise population.
Frequent fire, and periodic thinning of the forest are the two most important management techniques.
Land Management Photo Points
Since 1995, photo points have been taken at marked locations on Tall Timbers to document changes in the landscape after various land management treatments, such as frequent prescribed fire and timber thinning, have occurred. Photos are taken every year in October. View the slide show, at right, to see how the landscape has changed at this photo point, 19 W, at various intervals through 2017.
