History Abounds in Crenshaw County

摘要

Atrue love of the land and the history that can be discovered within its boundaries is what best describes the Clark-Burnside, LLC. The pride that comes with owning 800 acres of land in Crenshaw County and knowing that it has been in the family for 150 years is truly an inspiration for Charlie Clark; his wife, Debbie; his sister, Amy Paul; and their cousin, Hal Burnside. In the last three years, Charlie and his sister have added an additional 400 acres to the family land holdings, bringing the totalto 1,200 acres of well diverse, multiple-use land. This property was first recognized as an Alabama TREASURE Forest in 1999, but even before then, Charlie and the family were great examples for the multiple-use land stewardship philosophy that the TREASURE Forest program embodies. Maximizing timber production on the family land is their primary objective; however, wildlife habitat improvement is a very close secondary objective.
