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.

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. Our partners are pivotal to the success of these projects, and we look forward to getting started. #RestoreLongleaf[Reposted from National Fish and Wildlife Foundation]
Longleaf Distilling Co., based in Macon, is proud Longleaf Distilling Co., based in Macon, is proud to be Middle Georgia’s first legal distillery. Its name honors the longleaf pine, the tree that once dominated the region’s landscape but has disappeared over time. Today, a united collaboration between public and private organizations is working to restore these iconic forests, and Longleaf Distilling Co. is honored to contribute to that mission. In February 2025, the distillery partnered with The Longleaf Alliance and Mercer University to plant 85,000 longleaf pine seedlings in a sustainable teaching forest.📷This week Longleaf Distilling Co. sponsored a private distillery tour, tasting, and screening of Young Fires: The Future of Firelighting for Longleaf Alliance members. Thank you for having us! [Photos by Lynnsey Basala]
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
