Last night, we had the honor of attending soulgrown_alabama Soul of the South Awards as nominees in the conservation category.
Congratulations to for a well-deserved win!

Truly, last night was an incredible experience being surrounded by so many that are passionate about being a part of Alabama. We will relive this night for many years.

Did you know that one of the toughest trees we often cut isn't technically a tree? It's actually a shrub!

And nope, we didn't spray paint it. It's really that bright yellow.

We occasionally run across mock orange trees that we need to remove as part of the habitat project. And even though these trees are considered shrubs, these tough, colorful plants don't cut easily. We take extra care with the machines when cutting these to not wind up with downed equipment.

Knowing the different plant species we may encounter isn't just beneficial for proper habitat management, but it's also necessary for knowing how to run our equipment properly.

It's not often we get to drive in the off-road open to get to a job. Most of our jobs sites are accessible through narrow forested "roads." And many jobs require that we park and walk or ride the machine to the area we're cutting. This pasture reclamation project is coming to a close. And though we're thankful to start another awesome project, we'll miss this daily drive.

We're excited to share that Hunter and Land Revival are the west zone coordinators for the Central Alabama Prescribed Burn Association.
Both Hunter and Jessica are Certified Prescribed Burn Managers and know the importance that prescribed fire has in habitat management.
One of our goals is getting more Tuscaloosa area people involved in CAPBA and teaching the younger generations the importance of prescribed fire.

We had a great time at the 2026 Fall Expo in Tuscaloosa last week.
We appreciate Tuscaloosa County inviting us to attend giving us the opportunity to meet some great people.

Ran across these pictures from about 4 years ago.

We've been in full Black Belt Prairie restoration mode the last few weeks. Being reminded of some of our first restoration projects make us thankful for how far we've come and how many acres we've had the privilege of getting to restore.

We're excited for what the rest of 2026 has in store.

Our daughter hands us her worksheet from school.

"Oh! Did you think about daddy when you did this?"

"No. Why would I?"

It really be your own blood....

A recent Black Belt Prairie site we worked on is COVERED in these shells!
All of these came within about a 5 foot section. And these were just a few within this area.

It's always neat to admire the ecological diversity in any habitat, but especially even within the same types of habitats.

We are beyond honored to be a nominee for the Conservation category of the 2026 Soul of the South Awards.

Frankly, we're rather speechless, which we know doesn't happen often. This truly is an amazing honor to be amongst so many other great people within Alabama.

Join us as we celebrate creativity at the 4th Annual Soul of the South Nominees event and discover the winners live.

More prairies getting restored one load at a time.

Management Monday:
Sericea lespedeza – an exotic species from Asia – invaded this prairie after eastern red cedar trees were removed and fire was re-introduced. Restoration practices that promote development of the prairie plant community also promote the spread of sericea lespedeza. In this scenario, the frequency at which sericea lespedeza occurs in the plant community is rapidly increasing. Consequently, triclopyr herbicide was recently applied to reduce the occurrence of sericea lespedeza and increase the occurrence of native species. To minimize collateral damage, a hand crew was used to apply the herbicide.
