The Marne Report

Fort Stewart has nearly 280,000 acres of land, much of which is dedicated to training the 3rd Infantry Division, the armored component of America's contingency corps, but it’s also dedicated to environmental conservation and restoration. The Directorate of Public Works has a department dedicated to managing the land to meet the needs of combat training and preserving the natural spaces. For this week's Marne Report, we’re getting out of the studio and touring our post's longleaf pine forests and grasslands with its ephemeral wetlands with Biologist Larry Carlile, the Fish and Wildlife Branch Chief. Join us as we talk about one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world right here in our backyard, that's brimming with rare plants and animals, some that are threatened or endangered.
