Wildlife Habitat Management Forestry
Quality land improvement begins with a deep understanding of Southern terrain, paired with careful planning and methods that preserve the natural character of your property. With our expertise in wildlife habitat management forestry, we enhance access, restore balance, and support long-term sustainability across every acre.
Create Your Own Outdoor Paradise
Your land is more than just an investment; it's an opportunity for recreation, relaxation, and connecting with nature. Woodland Works offers a specialized suite of services designed to enhance your property for wildlife and recreation. For landowners who want to learn more about statewide conservation support, the Georgia Private Lands Program provides guidance and resources to help improve wildlife habitat on private properties.
Whether you're an avid hunter looking to create a premier deer and turkey habitat, a family that wants a network of trails for hiking and ATV riding, or a landowner who simply wishes to see more wildlife, our team has the passion and expertise to help you achieve your vision.
Understanding What Helps Wildlife Thrive on Your Land
Improving wildlife habitat starts with recognizing how your land’s vegetation, terrain, and natural resources shape animal movement and behavior. By enhancing sunlight, creating better understory growth, and opening overcrowded areas, your property becomes more attractive to deer, turkey, and small game.
When invasive plants or thick brush limit natural regeneration, targeted solutions help restore healthier conditions. If your land needs deeper vegetation correction, our pest invasive species control forestry service provides a structured approach to clearing unwanted growth and rebuilding a stronger foundation for long-term habitat success.
Our Comprehensive Wildlife Habitat Management Services
Effective wildlife habitat management is about actively creating and improving the four key elements that animals need: food, water, cover, and space.
Food Plot Installation
A well-planned food plot is the most effective way to attract and hold wildlife on your property. We handle the entire process, from soil testing and site selection to clearing, planting, and fertilizing. We can recommend and plant a wide variety of warm-season and cool-season crops to provide year-round nutrition for deer, turkey, and other game.
Prescribed Burning for Habitat Improvement
Fire is one of the most powerful and natural tools for managing wildlife habitat in the Southeast. Controlled burns clear out thick understory, promote the growth of nutritious native grasses and forbs that wildlife feed on, and create the open, park-like environment that species like quail and turkey need to thrive.
Creating Cover and Bedding Areas
Wildlife needs safe places to rest and raise their young. We can create cover by using técnicas like hinge-cutting non-valuable trees to create living brush piles, or by strategically leaving blocks of thick vegetation during a clearing project.
Mast-Producing Tree Planting
We can help you plant and cultivate mast-producing trees like sawtooth oaks, which provide a critical, high-energy food source for deer and other animals in the fall and winter.
Recreational Property Development Services
Trail and Road Construction
We design and build sustainable, all-weather trail and road systems that provide access to every part of your property for hunting, hiking, and ATV riding, all while minimizing erosion and environmental impact.
Shooting Lane Clearing
We use our selective forestry mulching and clearing equipment to strategically clear shooting lanes from your deer stands, improving visibility and ensuring a safe, clear shot.
Pond and Fish Habitat Management
We can construct new ponds for fishing or enhance existing ones by adding fish structures, managing aquatic vegetation, and improving overall water quality to create a fantastic fishing resource. (See our Pond Building services for more details).
Campsite and Cabin Site Clearing
We can clear and level the perfect secluded spot for a family campsite or the foundation for your dream hunting cabin.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I plant in my food plots?
The best food plot mix depends on your target species and the time of year. For deer, a mix of cereal grains (like oats and wheat), clover, and brassicas is an excellent choice for the fall and winter. We can provide a custom recommendation based on a soil test.
How often should I use prescribed fire?
For optimal habitat for species like quail and turkey, a rotational burn every 2-3 years is often recommended. This creates a mosaic of different habitat structures across your property.
Can you improve the hunting on a small property?
Absolutely. Even on smaller acreage, you can significantly improve your hunting opportunities by strategically providing the best food, water, and cover in the area. Often, this means your property will become the preferred sanctuary for local wildlife.
