Keeping Wildlife Wild
From its stately oak trees and majestic pines, to the soothing and native waters of the Intracoastal Waterway and fresh and brackish water lagoons, to the beautiful native fauna, the Landings community is quite the island paradise.
Although many human residents could not imagine calling any other place besides The Landings home, there are countless animal residents that feel the same way. While living in such close proximity to nature can be an enriching experience, it’s important to keep in mind that wildlife is wild! Feeding wildlife is detrimental to the health and safety of both wildlife and residents. Residents are reminded NEVER to feed wildlife.
Although this might seem a bit strict to some people, it is basic step to take to ensure healthier and safer coexistence between residents and wildlife, according to The Landings Association’s Environmental Manager Dylan Till.
“Education is the first step in helping residents understand they are hurting, not helping, wildlife by feeding them,” Till said. “People aren’t feeding wildlife because they are a bad people but because they incorrectly believe they are helping. It is also important to realize there is a big difference in having a bird feeder and dumping five-gallon buckets of corn into a lagoon to feed Hooded Mergansers or in your backyard to feed deer.”
Till added that it is against Georgia state law to feed certain wildlife, including alligators. “When alligators are fed, they lose their fear of humans and start to associate humans with food,” he said. “The alligators can become overly aggressive, and ultimately it’s necessary to have them lethally removed.”
Following are a few more reasons residents are reminded NEVER to feed wildlife.
- Human foods aren’t nutritious enough for animals and may cause serious health problems.
- It makes wild animals lose their natural fear of people. Feeding can make large, potentially dangerous animals too comfortable in residential or recreational areas. Once animals learn they can panhandle for food, they can become a nuisance or, even worse, a safety risk.
- Wild animals that depend on people for food can cause injuries or spread disease. When wild animals gather for food handouts, it causes crowding and competition. These unnatural conditions increase the chances of fighting and injury among animals. It also can increase the spread of diseases, some of which may be transmitted to pets and humans.
If you want to be good stewards of the wildlife in The Landings, do your part by observing wildlife from a distance and by not feeding it!
50th Anniversary Golden Nugget: Marshwood’s 16th Green
50th Anniversary Golden Nugget: Marshwood’s 16th Green
“The only hole in the world where you can land on the green and still have an unplayable lie.” Not precisely true, since you could always waste a shot putting away from the tree trunk that once stood in the center of Marshwood’s 16th green, if that’s where your ball unhappily landed. What possessed Arnold Palmer to leave the tree there has been lost to posterity. But, indeed, it stood there for years until common sense prevailed!

50th Anniversary Golden Nugget: The Landings’ First Residents
Bill and Peggy Foster have lived here longer than any other Landings owner, but they were not the first to move into the community. That distinction belongs to Elbert and Helen Little, who bought their lot in 1972, built their own home at 4 Tything Man Lane, and moved into it in 1973, claiming Club Membership #14!
Branigar honored this singular place in the community’s history by inviting Elbert and Helen to cut the ribbon at the Grand Opening of the 1,831 acre Plantation/Palmetto section of The Landings in 1980.
Elbert, known to his friends as Dixie (the name he put on his golf cart), was in reality a Yankee, born in Brooklyn. His wife, Helen, was born in Connecticut. They met and married in 1939 and the 1940 census lists his occupation as “salesman” and Helen’s as “nutritionist” in a school cafeteria. But by August of 1941, Dixie had enlisted in the Army and when war broke out three months later, he found himself fighting in the Pacific Theater. Although he was discharged when the war ended in 1946, he re-enlisted in 1950 and spent the next two years fighting in Korea, where he rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel. (This long exposure to Asian culture seemed to rub off on the couple and the furniture, fabrics, art, and curios they acquired for their homes had a distinct Asian character.)
Although Dixie took a financial management job in New York when he was discharged from the Army, he decided to pursue a career as a builder and for reasons unknown, picked Savannah as the perfect place to begin. Dixie moved the family south in 1956, enrolled his son and namesake Elbert, Jr. (known as Buck) in Benedictine Military Academy (at that time located on Bull Street) and began restoring old, and building new, homes throughout the city. Before moving to The Landings, the Little family lived in a home Dixie had built on Althea Parkway in Kensington Park. His biggest project was developing Meridian Drive in Oakdale, an area off Waters Avenue, south of DeRenne and north of Eisenhower.
At The Landings, Dixie and Helen enjoyed golf and boating. (They kept a boat named Blue Chip at Landings Harbor.) The family were communicants at St. James and Dixie was a member of The Knights of Columbus. Elbert, Jr. (Buck) was their only child. He was Captain of the football team at BC and like his dad, had a strong sense of duty to his country, serving as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. Tragically, Buck died of leukemia in 1980 at the age of 37, two years before Dixie died, and six before Helen passed. But Buck had two children and they offered the most important tribute any grandparent can receive: “They were always kind and loving for the short time we had them in our lives.” May we all be remembered that way.
