Agriculture & Natural Resources

The Georgia Sentinel Landscape (GSL) Pilot Project is a collaboration between public and private stakeholders who have overlapping natural resource management goals in proximity with military installations. It aims to help landowners overcome challenges associated with effectively managing and enhancing their forestlands by providing technical and financial assistance as well as outreach programs. The GSL Prescribed Fire Initiative provides cost-share for prescribed burning, firebreaks, and prescribed burn plants to landowners in more than 50 counties with an emphasis on those near Fort Stewart and the Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay.
Why Should You Burn?
- Improve wildlife habitat
- Reduce wildfire risk
- Manage competing vegetation
- Control insect populations
- Recycle nutrients
- Enhance aesthetics
