Restoration & Management

HomeWhat is Longleaf?Restoration & Management

Restoration & Management

The Longleaf Alliance's ultimate goal is to ensure that longleaf pine becomes a significant component in the Southern forest once more, contributing to all of the functions and processes that make longleaf forests unique.

Interested landowners face two distinct but related tasks in their efforts to restore longleaf to their lands:

  • Establishment of the longleaf trees themselves
  • Restoration of the entire longleaf forest community

Longleaf restoration is a long-term effort, aided by our primary management tool - prescribed fire.
