Join the Longleaf Conference Field Tour on October Join the Longleaf Conference Field Tour on October 29th to experience the northernmost reaches of the longleaf pine ecosystem and hear firsthand from the partners and landowners leading restoration efforts across Virginia.Departing from Williamsburg Lodge, passengers will experience a short ferry boat ride across the James River, to the heart of Virginia’s pineywoods.🌲Piney Grove Preserve – See longleaf restoration in action at this 4,000-acre preserve, home to the most northern population of Red-cockaded Woodpeckers and a thriving, fire-maintained landscape rich in wildlife.🦝Raccoon Creek Pinelands – Over 1,400 acres of longleaf pine have been planted on the 2,000-acre private property, seeing a resurgence of native plant and wildlife species (especially bobwhite quail). Visit notable projects including a longleaf underplanting demonstration and forest carbon study before enjoying lunch under the pavilion built out of sustainable-sourced old-growth longleaf pine.🌱Sussex Nursery – Go behind the scenes at Virginia’s longleaf seedling production hub and learn how local genetics are supporting the future of longleaf restoration.Register for the field tour (and other Biennial Longleaf Conference offerings) at longleafconference.com > registration (link in bio).

Red-cockaded Woodpeckers (RCWs, Leuconotopicus bor Red-cockaded Woodpeckers (RCWs, Leuconotopicus borealis) are unique among woodpeckers, nesting only in LIVING pine trees rather than dead ones. Mature longleaf pines infected with red heart disease (Porodaedalea pini) are ideal cavity trees because the fungus softens the interior heartwood, making excavation easier. As mature pine forests declined due to logging, development, and fire suppression, RCW populations became increasingly fragmented, and the fire-dependent ecosystems they relied on were disappearing. Biologists have been working since the 1970s to secure the future of this iconic species. One of the most important factors in its recovery was ensuring adequate nesting habitat. Early efforts focused on drilling cavity starts in suitable trees, eventually leading to the development and installation of artificial cavity inserts. While artificial cavities are not a long-term solution for sustaining RCW populations, they have played a critical role in the species’ recovery. After 51 years on the endangered species list, the Red-cockaded Woodpecker was down-listed to threatened in 2024. This significant milestone reflects decades of collaborative conservation efforts across the Southeast and demonstrates the success of targeted strategies to protect and improve habitat for rare species. 📷 Photo credits: Michael Hubbard, Brady Beck, and Macey Kenney #Longleafpine #conservation #rcw #goodfire #redcockadedwoodpecker
