According to the release, TNC is working with the U.S. Forest Service to add the property to the Talladega National Forest, and will reintroduce prescribed fire management that longleaf forests need to thrive.The Nature Conservancy said the purchase was made possible through a partnership with Resource Management Service, LLC and a three-month fundraising campaign through TNC’s Ireland Opportunity Fund, a revolving loan program.
