The Longleaf Alliance is excited to introduce our The Longleaf Alliance is excited to introduce our new field team assisting the reticulated flatwoods salamander project on Escribano Point Widllife Management Area in Florida 🎉🥳🎉The Ambystoma bishopi (AMBBIS) Restoration Team, or A.R.T. for short, will be part of the greater AMBBIS team and primarily work on wetland restoration goals for the reticulated flatwoods salamander.This full-time team consists of all returning staff: Haley Welshoff, ART crew lead, and biological restoration technicians Abe Huang, Kameron Burgess, and Sean Seid. These veteran team members have certainly gotten wetland restoration down to an ART-formMore at https://longleafalliance.org/welcome-art/#WorldWetlandsDay #RestoreWetlands #longleafalliance
Last week, The Longleaf Alliance and @nationalwild Last week, The Longleaf Alliance and @nationalwildlife introduced a new Academy type – Longleaf & the Landowner.We were thrilled to work with the 2022 Gjerstad/Johnston Landowner of the Year award winner, Herbert Hodges and the Willie Hodges Estate Family Farm, who opened the doors to the farm that has been in the family since the 1890s to hold the 3-day event.The course was designed with underserved landowners and land stewards in mind.  The ~40 attendees learned about site preparation, longleaf and fire, planting techniques, managing for wildlife habitat, a historical perspective on black land loss and retention in the South, heirs property concerns, and connecting with resources to guide a landowner through the myriad of cost-share programs and other types of assistance and guidance available. Academy graduates completed the week with palpable enthusiasm to continue learning, and we look forward to working with partners around the range to bring this program, and ones like it, to additional communities in the longleaf range!We couldn’t have done this without the expertise provided by our partners: the U.S. Forest Service - @gatrees - @georgiawildlife - Natural Resources Conservation Service - Georgia Heirs Property Law Center - Center for Heirs’ Property Preservation - @thetrcp - @mcintoshseed - and the Longleaf for All working group under America’s Longleaf Restoration Initiative.

In 2018, The Alliance's Wetland Ecosystem Support In 2018, The Alliance's Wetland Ecosystem Support Team (WEST) formed to restore isolated wetlands in the Gulf Coastal Plain Ecosystem Partnership (GCPEP). Since then we've had 15+ team members improve wetlands with mechanical/chemical treatments and prescribed fire, working through very demanding weather and habitat conditions.December 2022 marked a milestone as WEST completed their final multi-year Florida State Wildlife Grant, far exceeding grant deliverables in all areas. WEST's work benefitted many wildlife species, but especially the reticulated flatwoods salamander and the Florida bog frog. From 2018-2022, WEST was the under direction of The Alliance's Natural Resource Supervisor Kaiden Spurlock with many staff playing a role over the years, including team leads Jessica Sandoval, Ed O'Daniels, Nicole Barys and Kameron Burgess.Thank you WEST for your hard work and lasting impact on the GCPEP landscape. 👏👏👏Check out more WEST photos through the years at longleafalliance.org > news (link in bio) P.S. Stay tuned for more TLA field team news this week!#longleafalliance #prescribedburn #goodfire #prescribedfire #restorelongleaf #restorewetlands
