BASF Professional Vegetation Management (ProVM) and the American
Forest Foundation have honored Earl and Wanda Barrs with the
American Tree Farm System� 2006 Outstanding Achievements in
Sustainable Forestry Award. During the last decade, the Barrs have
brought more than 4,000 teachers, school children and forestry
professionals to hike, observe wildlife and participate in hands-on
sustainable environmental practices at their Cochran, Ga., tree
farm, Gully Branch. �This award recognizes the commitment of those
who make sustainable forestland management a priority in their
daily lives,� said Amie Dunn, BASF ProVM communications manager.
�Since the Barrs purchased their forestland 20 years ago, they have
worked diligently to make it an educational model of best
management techniques in forestry.� The 1,200 acres of Gully Branch
Tree Farm contain a 40-acre lake, two small ponds, a swamp,
loblolly stands and upland and bottomland hardwoods. There are
thriving food plots to support all wildlife species at Gully
Branch, including deer, quail and wild turkey. �We�ve consulted
with wildlife professionals to make sure we�re managing our forest
stands in ways that support habitat development and biodiversity,�
Wanda Barrs said. �For example, we manage our deer population
according to quality deer management standards.� A Project Learning
Tree facilitator, Wanda conducts workshops and training that
prepare teachers from Georgia universities to become Project
Learning Tree educators. Earl is involved in a number of
sustainable forestry groups, including the Society of American
Foresters and the Georgia Forestry Association. He has partnered
with many private and industrial forest landowners to implement
long-term strategies for Georgia�s future in forestry, and works
with power production and biomass research leaders to develop
alternative uses for excess pulp. The conviction that drives the
Barrs� extensive work in their community is evident in the forests
of Gully Branch. The Barrs� vision for Gully Branch is to grow and
promote a sustainable forest for present and future generations. By
sharing their Tree Farm with students, teachers, legislators and
landowners, they are helping make their vision of a healthy,
enjoyable environment a reality for everyone. BASF: Helping Make
