On August 7th, Georgia Sheriffs’ Youth Homes hosted foresters from F&W Forestry, based out of Albany Georgia. Foresters from Georgia, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and South Carolina toured our Pineland campus in LaGrange. The campus is intensely managed to optimize recreation and timber production. Shayne Goddard, Director of Development, Property, and Facilities, along with State Property Manager Jerry Prophett toured the group and shared their management plans and philosophy, but most importantly the story of the Youth Homes.
