#DYK Ten wildernesses, 1,367 miles of trout streams, and 430 miles of trails enrich the ChattOconeeNF. The famous 2,135-mile #AppalachianTrail also begins here.

We grow trees, lots of them! In 2025, we’ll plant over 550,000 Longleaf and Loblolly pine trees on SRS News. Pine tree seeds extracted from cones collected here on SRS and grown into seedlings will find their way back home to be planted. #USFS #Longleafpine #Forestry USFS Southern Region



We are conducting a hand and aerial ignition 796-acre prescribed fire today on SRS News to reduce potential hazardous wildfire fuels. Visit fs.usda.gov/managing-land/… to learn more about the benefits of prescribed fire. #USFS #ForestryCommish #ForestHealth USFS Southern Region #GoodFire
