Longleaf Biennial Conference
The Biennial Longleaf Conference, hosted by The Longleaf Alliance, is a regional conference focused on the restoration and conservation of the longleaf ecosystem that once dominated the landscape within the southeastern United States. The conference provides the opportunity for people from all over the Southeast to get together, share, learn, and celebrate longleaf. It also serves as a rallying spot for several other organizations and government agencies seeking to stage additional events in order to better collaborate on the conference topics.
The 13th Biennial Conference, held in October 2020, was our very first virtual conference. Hosted by Cadmium, the conference platform will remain active for a full year with access to recorded live sessions, on-demand content, and virtual poster gallery. Please contact Sarah Crate for more information.
