Greenwood Plantation in the Red Hills region of southwest Georgia
includes a rare one-thousand-acre stand of old-growth longleaf pine
woodlands, a remnant of an ecosystem that once covered close to
ninety million acres across the Southeast. The Art of Managing
Longleaf documents the sometimes controversial management system
that not only has protected Greenwood’s “Big Woods” but also
has been practised on a substantial acreage of the remnant longleaf
pine woodlands in the Red Hills and other parts of the Coastal
Plain. Often described as an art informed by science, the
Stoddard-Neel Approach combines frequent prescribed burning, highly
selective logging, a commitment to a particular woodland aesthetic,
intimate knowledge of the ecosystem and its processes, and other
strategies to manage the longleaf pine ecosystem in a sustainable
way. The namesakes of this method are Herbert Stoddard (who
developed it) and his colleague and successor, Leon Neel (who has
refined it). In addition to presenting a detailed, illustrated
outline of the Stoddard-Neel Approach, the book—based on an
extensive oral history project undertaken by Paul S. Sutter and
Albert G. Way, with Neel as its major subject—discusses Neel’s
deep familial and cultural roots in the Red Hills; his years of
work with Stoddard; and the formation and early years of the Tall
Timbers Research Station, which Stoddard and Neel helped found in
the pinelands near Tallahassee, Florida, in 1958. In their
introduction, environmental historians Sutter and Way provide an
overview of the longleaf ecosystem’s natural and human history,
and in his afterword, forest ecologist Jerry F. Franklin affirms
the value of the Stoddard-Neel Approach.
