Dunwell Meets with Landowners in Escambia County
[Brewton, Ala.] On Friday, January 15, consulting
forester Danny Dunwell of Southeastern Forestry Services
spoke to area landowners about his experience converting
timberland from loblolly pine to native longleaf. The
presentation was held outdoors on private land in
Escambia County, with a tour that included different
aged stands. A small demonstration on safe use of
prescribed fire was one of the highlights of the field
day, with equipment from drip torches to dozers at work
making fire breaks. The audience of about 20 landowners
learned about the soil and management requirements of
longleaf pine, along with the resources available to
help plant or manage longleaf. Additional speakers were
forester Charles Taylor and Summer Stidham with the
National Resources Conservation Service.
Dunwell is an Auburn University graduate with a
decades-long career in the forestry industry, beginning
with a job at a seedling nursery after college. He’s as
passionate about forest management as when he started,
and believes in working collaboratively with other
public and private organizations to help landowners
achieve their goals for their land.
This event was sponsored by www.forestersearch.com, a
directory of consulting foresters in Alabama, organized
by county, made possible by a grant from the
Bradley/Murphy Forestry and Natural Resources Extension
Trust. Landowners can visit ForesterSearch.com to find a

using a consulting forester.
