In Episode 9 of The Forestry Project Podcast, podcast host Jace McCauley sits down to discuss wildlife and management considerations with Drew Metzler. Drew is a Forestry, Wildlife & Natural Resources Regional Extension Agent for the Alabama Cooperative Extension System. He holds bachelor's in wildlife and a master's in forestry from Auburn University and on-the-ground experience working in both forestry and wildlife fields.

Topics discussed in the podcast are habitat considerations for different wildlife species, management needed for different stages of wildlife life cycles, and how to get the most out of your woods regardless of acreage. In the episode, Drew discusses what habitat different wildlife species, such as turkeys, deer, and squirrels, need and how landowners might want to manage for it. Also, Drew and Jace discuss why landowners should meet and get involved with neighbors to get the most out of their property.
