Conserving Diverse Forests

HomeWhat We DoConserving Diverse ForestsRare Species

Rare Species

Wildlife species that live in the longleaf forest are as vital to the ecosystem as the trees and plants. They contribute to the diversity, function, and beauty of the forest. Many animals are dependent on fire-maintained forests for their continued survival. The Longleaf Alliance is dedicated to supporting and implementing conservation actions that promote survival and aid in the recovery of endemic longleaf species under threat.

The synergy of the Longleaf Conference sparks fres The synergy of the Longleaf Conference sparks fresh perspectives and strengthens collaborative opportunities! Just ask Jennifer Fawcett with the North Carolina State University..."Following the “Fire It Up! - Planning and Leveraging Fire Festival Events” panel at the 2022 Longleaf Conference, there was interest from festival organizers in learning more about each other's efforts. From there, a Prescribed Fire Festival Learning Group was formed and has been meeting regularly. We even hosted a collaborative "Mini Fire Festival" at the 2024 Longleaf Conference in Florida. The number of events participating in the group continues to grow and has expanded beyond the Southeast.
