With appearances by
Moody Forest and people from there and from the
Longleaf Alliance, not to mention
gopher tortoises and indigo snakes:
Fire forest, yes!
But they forgot to mention Smilax: catbriar, greenbriar, those vines that
like to catch you in the woods.
Thanks to Gary Stock for the tip.

In addition to her popular trilogy of books,
Janisse Ray has also edited a small volume about the
Moody Forest Natural Area,
which was on sale at
her talk in Moultrie the other day.
I can’t find a reference to that book online, although Moody Forest
itself features in Wild Card Quilt.
However, Gretchen and I did visit Moody Forest in 2008, and took some pictures,
like this one on the right that appears to be the home of some rare red-cockaded woodpeckers:
That’s just one picture, but
follow this link for the others.
Red cockaded woodpecker hole? It’s in an old longleaf, and we saw a couple of red cockadeds flying around, so I’d guess they made that hole. This is in the Moody Forest Natural Area in Appling County, Ga. It’s a flickr set; click on the picture. Pictures by Gretchen.
