The 16th Biennial Longleaf Conference will explore The Future of Our Founding Forests, weaving together longleaf pine’s historic legacy, modern conservation efforts, and innovations shaping its future.
Set in Colonial Williamsburg, The Longleaf Alliance is excited to welcome Biennial Longleaf Conference attendees to southeast Virginia, the most northern extent of longleaf pine, where longleaf played a critical role in colonial American industry and where its first great losses were felt. Today, this landscape’s restoration efforts reflect the powerful resurgence underway across the Southeast.
The 2026 Longleaf Conference will illuminate how longleaf forests remain vital to our modern economies, communities, and natural world – and why their future depends on the choices we make now.
