Prescribed Grazing: A Management Tool for Wetlands examines the ecological drivers and natural disturbance regimes—particularly grazing and fire—that have influenced the creation, evolution, and maintenance of longleaf pine savanna, coastal marsh, coastal prairie, and other wetland ecosystems. The book describes the three most historically significant vegetation types of the coastal plain, the potential benefits of well-managed grazing, and its relationship to wildlife habitat. It also emphasizes the importance of vegetation monitoring, documentation, and stewardship on privately owned lands.

Additional sections highlight the contributions of landowners, organizations, and businesses dedicated to promoting awareness and conservation of historical, cultural, and natural resources. Their collective work plays an essential role in the preservation, maintenance, and restoration of the Gulf Coast region’s critical natural habitats.
