Habitat	The Martin Branch Woodland currently consists of about 754 acres of pine and mixed pine-hardwood forests in rural Covington County, Mississippi. About 500 acres of this forest will be managed to benefit either the gopher tortoise or RCW. The Applicant manages the forest for mixed purposes, including income from timber production, wildlife, aesthetics, natural values, and recreation. Management to enhance habitat will decrease the frequency of timber harvests in some areas, and control the unnatural encroachment of hardwoods and shrubs in the pine forest understory. Such management uses normal silvicultural methods widely employed by foresters and landowners.
