**SFE Webinar: Herbert Stoddard and the Origins of Ecosystem Management**
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Southern Fire Exchange webinar with Jim Cox, Stoddard Bird Lab Director, Tall Timbers Research Station and Land Conservancy

Hosted by the Tall Timbers Research Station, the Southern Fire Exchange, NC State University, and the University of Florida.

Webinar Summary:
Herbert Stoddard has been undervalued and sometimes overlooked in terms of his contributions to wildlife conservation and management in North America. Although his formal education ended in the 8th grade, Stoddard fundamentally changed game species management through a focus on habitat management rather than bag limits. He also established the study of fire ecology and developed novel timber management strategies that mimicked natural disturbances, provided income for landowners, and also met the needs of rare species. Stoddard is also responsible in part for establishing the Wade Tract, the only National Natural Landmark dedicated to the endangered longleaf pine ecosystem.

You showed the burleigh-stoddard research fund in Jefferson Ga. Is that a tract of timber that is open to the public? Longleaf tract I assume?
