BASF Professional Vegetation Management (ProVM) and the American Forest
Foundation have honored Earl and Wanda Barrs with the American Tree Farm
System® 2006
Outstanding Achievements in Sustainable Forestry Award. During the last
decade, the Barrs have brought more than 4,000 teachers, school children
and forestry professionals to hike, observe wildlife and participate in
hands-on sustainable environmental practices at their Cochran, Ga., tree
farm, Gully Branch.
“This award recognizes the commitment of those
who make sustainable forestland management a priority in their daily
lives,” said Amie Dunn, BASF ProVM
communications manager. “Since the Barrs
purchased their forestland 20 years ago, they have worked diligently to
make it an educational model of best management techniques in forestry.”
The 1,200 acres of Gully Branch Tree Farm contain a 40-acre lake, two
small ponds, a swamp, loblolly stands and upland and bottomland
hardwoods. There are thriving food plots to support all wildlife species
at Gully Branch, including deer, quail and wild turkey.
“We’ve consulted
with wildlife professionals to make sure we’re
managing our forest stands in ways that support habitat development and
biodiversity,” Wanda Barrs said. “For
example, we manage our deer population according to quality deer
management standards.”
A Project Learning Tree facilitator, Wanda conducts workshops and
training that prepare teachers from Georgia universities to become
Project Learning Tree educators.
Earl is involved in a number of sustainable forestry groups, including
the Society of American Foresters and the Georgia Forestry Association.
He has partnered with many private and industrial forest landowners to
implement long-term strategies for Georgia’s
future in forestry, and works with power production and biomass research
leaders to develop alternative uses for excess pulp.
The conviction that drives the Barrs’
extensive work in their community is evident in the forests of Gully
Branch. The Barrs’ vision for Gully Branch is
to grow and promote a sustainable forest for present and future
generations. By sharing their Tree Farm with students, teachers,
legislators and landowners, they are helping make their vision of a
healthy, enjoyable environment a reality for everyone.
