95 | Restoring Snake Habitat in the Southeast

Dr. Jenkins sits down with Blake Adams and Caleb Goldsmith. Blake
and Caleb work for The Orianne Society where their primary focus
is on the restoration and management of snake habitat. The
discussion kicks off with an exploration of the Longleaf Pine
ecosystem that dominates the southeastern coastal plain. The
natural disturbance regimes that historically preserved this
ecosystem have been disrupted, necessitating active management to
sustain snake habitat. They delve into the restoration of native
grasses and forbs, and the crucial roles played by prescribed
fire and forestry in maintaining snake habitat in the region.
