Who are the #PeopleOfLongleaf? The folks working a Who are the #PeopleOfLongleaf? The folks working and living in #longleafpine have a diversity of jobs, professional backgrounds, and personal experiences. Today we are happy to share Abe Huang’s story. Meet Abe! ❓ WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE LONGLEAF ALLIANCE? 💬 I’m a seasonal wetland restoration technician. We work within the diverse hub of agencies that makes up the REPI partnership, where concerted efforts are brought together to improve the bottomlands of the Gulf Coastal Plain. ❓ HOW DID YOU GET STARTED IN THIS FIELD? 💬 I knew I wanted to work outdoors. I got started in natural resource conservation after changing my liberal arts focus to include sustainable movements. Then, my previous work with the Conservation Corps showed me how great it is to work with multiple agencies working together for a common goal. ❓ WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE DAY ON THE JOB? 💬 One of my favorite times was attending the SEPARC 2021 Virtual Conference, engaging with other attendees, and getting to catch up on the latest research. ❓ WHAT’S SOMETHING MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU? 💬 I am an ambivert (part introvert, part extrovert) eager to transition gracefully out of my rocket-stage. I felt like I was stuck in my grass stage for a long time and much like all the inhabitants of gopher tortoise burrows, I just want everyone to find their niches. I want people to rediscover restored areas and in turn discover things about themselves. ❓ WHAT DO YOU WISH PEOPLE UNDERSTOOD ABOUT LONGLEAF? 💬 That restoring the longleaf ecosystem to its rightful status as refuge and livelihood can be an act of duty and love. #longleaf #longleafpines #restorelongleaf

There are times when you snap a photo without real There are times when you snap a photo without realizing the significance of the moment until much later. Here's the story behind this one according to TLA's Sarah Crate. "Going through photos yesterday, I paused when I saw what I had captured in the background of this selfie -- my in-laws' American flag proudly on display. The whole family has been photo documenting this very happy front yard #longleafpine. This particular tree was donated by Bartlett Tree Experts at a longleaf outreach event. We planted it in December 2019, 1+ year after Hurricane Florence transformed the landscape of coastal North Carolina. The loblolly pines that once stood here have been replaced with young #longleafpines. Now well-over our heads, the growth of this #longleaf, affectionately named Groot, serves as a metaphorical measuring stick of the recovery of our family, this community, and the landscape." Sarah came across the photo on September 10th, as our country prepared for the 20th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. Some will mark the significance of today at the 9/11 Memorial, perhaps in the shade of the swamp white oak trees cared for by our partner Bartlett Tree Experts. Like this longleaf and like the oaks at the 9/11 Memorial, trees planted during a period of grief or recovery not only provide the mental and physical benefits of being outside, but also serve as a symbolic representation of the shared history and long-lasting legacy that will carry us forward. #neverforget 📷 Bob and Carol Crate's "Groot" - a longleaf pine planted following Hurricane Florence. September 14 will mark 3 years since Florence made landfall just south of Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. Photos courtesy of Carol Crate.
