S&S recently completed the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment and a wetland delineation to support the acquisition of the Southlands Plantation in South Georgia. Southlands Plantation is an amazing tract of land and is known as one of the finest recreational properties in Georgia. Southlands was assembled by the prominent naturalist and conservationist Herbert Stoddard (1889–1970). Recognized as the father of prescribed burning, Stoddard authored The Bobwhite Quail (1931), an iconic study long recognized for its pioneering methodology. The Southlands transaction marks the largest sale of recreational land in Georgia history. The acreage was assembled almost a century ago by Stoddard. More recently, Rock Creek Capital founder Jim Dahl acquired the land from International Paper in 2010 and began converting the commercial timber tracts to world-class recreational habitat.
