Ownership/Notes – There are 56 landowners. The largest landowners are Reserve
Homes Ltd. (349 acres) and PGA Reserve (137 acres).
Recommendation/Management Requirements – Use prescribed burning in the
flatwoods and into the wetlands periodically (3-7 years). This may be difficult to achieve
given the surrounding land use. Plugging ditches would improve the hydrological regime.
Treat the exotic caesarweed.
