Education & Outreach

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.

The Longleaf Alliance is hiring! We're looking f The Longleaf Alliance is hiring! We're looking for a Longleaf Forester and two Ecosystem Support Team members to join our staff in NW Florida and South Alabama, home to the largest remaining concentration of old-growth longleaf pine, offering a chance to work in one of the most ecologically significant longleaf landscapes in the Southeast.Details at longleafalliance.org > get-involved (link in bio)📷 The Ecosystem Support Team carries out a wide range of conservation activities, including installing artificial cavities to increase nesting opportunities for Red-cockaded Woodpeckers. The team supports partners in the Gulf Coastal Plain Ecosystem Partnership in implementing a variety of ecosystem management projects – prescribed burning, invasive species control, mechanical treatments, ecological monitoring, rare species recovery, and more.

Carnivorous pitcherplants don’t just trap their di Carnivorous pitcherplants don’t just trap their dinner — they also host a surprising array of wildlife. It’s not uncommon to find a treefrog tucked into a long, tubular pitcher, using it as shelter while waiting for insects drawn in by the plant’s nectar. In return, the frogs leave behind nitrogen-rich “deposits” that the plant desperately needs to thrive in nutrient-poor soils.📷Pinewoods treefrog perches on top a yellow pitcherplant [Julianne Jones]#WorldCarnivorousPlantDay #AmphibianWeek
Wetlands are important functional communities with Wetlands are important functional communities within the longleaf landscape, providing critical water storage and filtering services and serving as high-quality habitat for wildlife and native plants.The Coastal Plain alone has over a half million bays and isolated wetlands which provide essential breeding habitat for amphibians. Because amphibians rely on clean water, they’re powerful indicators of ecosystem health.It’s no coincidence that we celebrate #AmphibianWeek during American Wetlands Month!

Reptiles, on the other hand, have dry, scaly skin, typically lay eggs on land, and include crocodilians, turtles, lizards/snakes, and tuataras (found only in New Zealand)🐢🐍.Photos by Julianne Jones and Ashlynn Moretti; Illustrations by Ashlynn Moretti#AmphibianWeek #amphibians #frog #salamander
