Where practical,

openings should be established where two or more types of timber, such

as bottomland hardwoods and planted pines, come together. They should

be at least two to three acres so that they will not be shaded out by

nearby trees. A great variety of wildlife food crops can attract wildlife.

Assistance

available. Landowners interested in actively managing their woodlands

for timber and wildlife should utilize the professional assistance available

from the Georgia Forestry Commission and the Georgia Department of Natural

Resources. Assistance can also be obtained from professional consulting

foresters. For information and assistance contact your local Georgia Forestry
