Spanning nearly 30,000 acres of diverse ecosystems, including woods, water, and wildlife, the center focuses on studying the ecology, restoration, and management of the rare and biologically diverse longleaf pine ecosystem, as well as the hydrology of the lower Flint River basin and the unique karst region of Southwest Georgia.
With a strong emphasis on research, the center conducts both basic and applied studies to provide valuable insights and practical solutions for natural resource management and conservation. Through their conservation program, they actively steward and manage the Ichauway land base, implementing practices such as prescribed fire, conservation-based forest management, and restoration of the longleaf pine ecosystem. The center also plays a crucial role in promoting sound management practices by sharing their research findings and expertise through education and outreach programs, targeting professionals, policymakers, landowners, and university students.
