HomeWhat We DoEducation & Outreach

Education & Outreach

The Longleaf Alliance was established in 1995 when interest in the longleaf ecosystem and the tree itself was growing rapidly, but there was no outlet available to those seeking information or those wishing to share their experiences. Since its formation, The Longleaf Alliance has used outreach, education, research, direct involvement and hands-on experience to develop and provide the best available information to landowners, managers, policy makers, educators, and the public. Today we raise awareness, increase engagement, and grow a love for longleaf across the range in all forms of media and educational settings.

There’s a New Pumpkin Spice in Town! 🐢🎥🎃 In the n There’s a New Pumpkin Spice in Town! 🐢🎥🎃In the new short documentary, A Tortoise Called Pumpkin Spice, viewers meet a tiny survivor with a big mission. Hatched from the egg of a female gopher tortoise tragically killed by a vehicle, Pumpkin Spice was the sole hatchling to emerge and thrive under the care of Georgia wildlife experts. Today, she’s not just a juvenile tortoise – she’s an ambassador for one of the Southeast’s imperiled species. But Pumpkin Spice’s journey is part of a much larger success story. In September 2025, the Georgia Gopher Tortoise Conservation Initiative announced it had reached its ambitious goal: permanently protecting 65 viable gopher tortoise populations across the state! Discover Pumpkin Spice’s story and be inspired by what’s possible when people come together for conservation >> link in bio

Thirty years ago this month, Dean Gjerstad and Rhe Thirty years ago this month, Dean Gjerstad and Rhett Johnson officially launched our organization with a memorandum addressed to “Individuals expressing interest in The Longleaf Alliance.” That memo captured the momentum of a growing initiative fueled by collaboration among conservation groups, government agencies, industry leaders, private landowners, and universities—all working toward a sustainable future for longleaf pine ecosystems.With a strategic plan in place and initial funding secured, Dean and Rhett's call for Longleaf Alliance membership went out. And from that moment, a legacy of longleaf pine restoration, stewardship, and conservation began.Explore 30 Years (& Counting) of The Longleaf Alliance at longleafalliance.org > news (link in bio)
