In 2025, the Center's Conservation staff used prescribed fire to burn 12,509 acres of pine woodlands. In 2025, the Center completed its 27th breeding season of the endangered red cockaded woodpecker. Also in 2025, Conservation staff entered into a cooperative agreement with USDA Wildlife Services for the aerial gunning of feral hogs. A total of 152 hogs were removed over a period of 3 days. Continuing our history of long-term data collection, the Center completed our 29th year of counting animal tracks, 18th year of deer monitoring, 32nd year of fire monitoring and 7th year of predator indexing. 4766376 0 0 4378680 0 4378680 0 0 4378680 3935187 443493 22175 X 13079763 0 766793 13846556 1989-07-25 X 22175 22175 22175 22175 88700 18849 18849 18849 18849 75395 13846556 14496141 15278156 27011087 70631940 0 0 0 0 0 13846556 14496141 15278156 27011087 70631940 0 0 0 0 14783 14783 14783 14783 59132 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Kier D Klepzig 3988 Jones Center Drive Newton GA 39870 2297344706 kier.klepzig@jonesctr.org No set application form.
