Turtles are predators, prey, decomposers, seed sow Turtles are predators, prey, decomposers, seed sowers, and ecosystem engineers. Their loss results in long-term costs not only for their populations but also for the wildlife and plants that share their habitats. These prehistoric cuties and their neighbors need our help to #KeepWildTurtlesWild Photo Creds: Ashlynn Moretti - Julianne Jones- @ambystomajones - Sean Seid - and Lisa Lord#WildTurtleWeek #TurtlesNeedOurHelp #EveryTurtleCounts #GoodTurtleNeighbor
This Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina caroli This Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina) just finished its signature move – “boxing up” inside its shell when threatened – and is now ready to roam once again. As the most common terrestrial turtle in the eastern U.S., box turtles often encounter roads while searching for new territory, breeding opportunities, or food. Keep an eye out, and, if safe, help them across in the direction they were headed, but never move them outside their home range.Video by Julianne Jones @ambystomajones #WildTurtleWeek #KeepWildTurtlesWild #GoodTurtleNeighbor #BoxTurtle #turtlepower
Hot off the press! The latest USDA Forest Service Hot off the press! The latest USDA Forest Service Longleaf Pine Cone Report shows a promising outlook for 2026 – the best since 2017! Based on green cone counts this spring, the predicted regional longleaf cone crop for this fall is GOOD with an average of 53.9 cones per tree, an encouraging indicator for both natural regeneration this fall and future nursery seedling production. While there is hope on the horizon, it is important to remember that cone  production varies by site and weather risks remain. Annual monitoring by the UDSA Forest Service is crucial for continuing longleaf restoration efforts. Having an idea of upcoming cone crops helps longleaf growers plan for seed collection and informs land managers' upcoming activities, like prescribed burning or selective harvesting, to promote recruitment. In 2025, the poor predicted cone crop allowed partners to rally together to ensure sufficient cone collection was possible at a time when longleaf seed inventory was nearly exhausted. The full report is linked in our bio.[Photo by USDA Forest Service]
Longleaf is one of the most biologically diverse l Longleaf is one of the most biologically diverse landscapes in North America. Longleaf pine ecosystems and associated habitats support a variety of species of plants and animals, some who are endangered, endemic, or rare. Just looking at groundcover plants alone, over 100 species may reside in an area smaller than a quarter acre. The longleaf landscape is essential for sustaining keystone species and building resilience.On International Day of Biological Diversity, we encourage you to “Act Locally for Global Impact” by sharing your plant, animal, & fungi observations on iNaturalist — a worldwide dataset that can help protect species and places. As you contribute, remember that rare or sensitive species locations should be shared only with trusted entities to help safeguard them from being disturbed.  📷: Randy Tate, Brady Beck, Samantha Dillon, Benjamin Genter, Julianne Jones, Mary Keim, Jacob Barrett, Carol Denhof, Erin Cork, Kameron Burgess, Jay McClain, Ad Platt, Casey White, Lisaschleicher, Vernon Compton, Crystal Cockman, Skip Pudney, Sarah Crate, Idburek, Ashlynn Moretti, and other TLA staff members#biodiversity #longleaf #diversity #longleafecosystems #InternationalDayForBiologicalDiversity
