Today is the day to appreciate a longleaf keystone

Today is the day to appreciate a longleaf keystone species - the gopher tortoise! The gopher tortoise is one of six tortoises found in North America, and the only one found in the Southeast. The tortoise and its burrows support over 350 species and are a vital part of the longleaf landscape.Every year, the gopher tortoise continues to suffer habitat loss as land continues to be developed. By learning how to protect local tortoise populations and supporting conservation efforts, we can help preserve this keystone species and maintain the delicate balance of the ecosystem, reducing the risk of ecological decline.#GopherTortoise #HappyGopherTortoiseDay #LongleafPine #KeystoneSpecies #Tortoise

A common concern about prescribed fires is how fire affects wildlife. The good news? Animals have a lot of ways to stay safe, and it’s not just by running or flying away. Some take refuge inside the burn unit, finding underground hideouts or moving to areas unlikely to burn, like wet or rocky spots.Prescribed burners often get to witness “wildlife moments” on the fire line. In this video, this bunny simply waited the fire out then hopped right back to its business after it moved through. 🐇🌿Prescribed fire helps restore healthy longleaf ecosystems while wildlife does what it’s always done.#longleaf #longleafpine #PrescribedFire #EasterBunny

The Longleaf Alliance first hosted this event in 1996 in Mobile, Alabama, and now we're on our 16th year.Set in Colonial Williamsburg, we are excited to welcome attendees to 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. Our Call for Proposals is open until May 1st >> Details at longleafconference.com (link in bio)
