Longleaf-ers (yes, that includes YOU!) continue to Longleaf-ers (yes, that includes YOU!) continue to make progress to restore, conserve, and maintain critical longleaf pine habitat.Although 2025 data show declines in planting and prescribed burning compared to previous years, the year was marked by a record-setting acreage for long-term land protection as well as numerous successes that extend beyond acreage metrics. Despite challenges such as shifting economic conditions, poor longleaf pine cone crops, and continued recovery efforts from a very active hurricane season in 2024, the longleaf community demonstrated adaptability and strong collaboration across the Southeast. Private landowners played a particularly significant role, accounting for the majority of new longleaf plantings and, for the first time, conducting more prescribed burning than any public lands group.Read the full report at americaslongleaf.org (link in bio)
Today, we recognize National Wildland Firefighter Today, we recognize National Wildland Firefighter Day, held during the Week of Remembrance – a time to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice on the fireline and to reflect on the lessons their stories continue to teach us. Established in 2014, the Week of Remembrance marks the span between the tragic Yarnell Hill (June 30, 2013) and South Canyon (July 6, 1994) fires—events that, along with many others, have deeply shaped the wildland fire community. At The Longleaf Alliance, we are proud to have staff who serve as wildland firefighters and prescribed burners, working to restore the longleaf ecosystem through fire. Their dedication, skill, and commitment to safe, effective fire management are at the heart of our mission.This year, we also pause with heavy hearts to acknowledge the recent loss of wildland firefighters Emily Barker (38, Michigan), Nick Hutcherson (27, Arizona), and Sydney Watson (27, Alabama). We honor their memory and stand in solidarity with their families, crews, and the entire fire community.To our staff and all wildland firefighters: thank you for your unwavering commitment to stewarding our landscapes. 🔥💛#NationalWildlandFirefighterDay #WeekOfRemembrance #FireAdapted #GoodFire
July 1st should be in your longleaf management cal July 1st should be in your longleaf management calendar. Why? Because TODAY is the day that several state-operated nurseries begin accepting seedling orders for the upcoming planting season. Ordering early, even if you are waiting to hear back about a cost-share application, is your best chance to guarantee seedlings.Find a list of our partnering nurseries at longleafalliance.org (link in bio)#longleaf  #LongleafPine #RestoreLongleaf📷 Longleaf pine "babies" in container trays for nursery production.

Big news for longleaf pine restoration this week! Big news for longleaf pine restoration this week! @nfwf announced new investments supporting 25 projects across the Southeast to restore forests, strengthening rural communities and benefiting at-risk wildlife. The Longleaf Alliance is proud to be part of this collaboration, specifically facilitating two projects in this year’s Longleaf Landscape Stewardship Fund grant slate, totaling over $2.35 million to support our work in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia.
