TIFTON, GA (WALB) -
With information from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College
Students at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College have another hands-on learning opportunity thanks to the recent acquisition of a rare pitcher plant bog in Turner County.
A nearly nine-acre tract north of Tifton not only has a pitcher plant bog, but the carnivorous wetland plants are surrounded by a long leaf pine-wiregrass upland.
Students in the Biology and Natural Resource Management program, ABAC's two newest bachelor's degrees, can utilize the many elements of this unique piece of land.
Half of the land was donated by Fitzgerald native Ben Mills and the other half of the property was purchased by the ABAC Foundation with the help of donations from several local conservationists including Dan and Ellen Corrie, Dr. and Mrs. Richard F. Davis, Brenda and Keith Douce, Lisa M. Kruse, Freda W. Massey, Karan Rawlins, Dr. Patricia Timper, Dr. and Mrs. Joseph M. Turner, Dr. Bret B. Wagenhorst, Julie Sharpe and the Georgia Native Plant Society.
