Mr. Charlie Hugs The Beautiful Magnolia

--

A still from the latest episode

In the previous video Mr. Charlie told how he reclaimed this ruined land and hand planted his pines with Miss Margaret. Here he takes us to The Beautiful Magnolia. Join us in the South Georgia forest: Mr. Charlie, L. Primo (film and audio), myself asking the questions. You can hear the leaves crackling underfoot, bird calls, almost smell the pine needles and feel the cool December wind, brushing away stray branches as we go. For Mr. Charlie, this magnolia, like all of his pines and bald cypress, was a sentient creature, not an inanimate object…

Notice his expertise with the use of prescribed fire.

What will happen to these trees with UGA selling the bequest?
