Many incentives exist to encourage landowners to plant, grow and manage forests. This is especially true with longleaf pine, because of its superior environmental benefits.

The Longleaf Alliance Planting Funds

The Longleaf Alliance works with multiple partners to provide longleaf pine seedling funds to landowners. Submitting a request does not guarantee that funds will be available, but does allow us to more efficiently track those landowners or partners that are in need of assistance.

TLA Longleaf Planting Fund

Other Cost-share Opportunities

Available financial incentive programs change regularly, but they typically reimburse the landowner for a portion of the expenses of approved practices, including planting, prescribed fire, thinning, etc. Well-known federal programs include the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), and Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program. Many state and private organizations offer programs as well.

The Longleaf Alliance can help to connect you with potential incentive programs for longleaf, specific to your management objectives and location. Contact us!

#WeLoveOurMembers Trivia Challenge – Longleaf Seed #WeLoveOurMembers Trivia Challenge – Longleaf Seed Search 🔍 Longleaf pine cones release their seeds in the fall. Because of their large size, they don’t travel that far – usually landing just a short distance from their parent tree. When they settle into a moderate layer of leaf litter, the seeds have a better chance of NOT becoming a snack for wildlife. Can you find the fallen longleaf seed hiding in the photo? When you spot it, drop a 🌲 in the comments (no spoilers!).Participants will be entered into our "We Love Our Members" ✨GIVEAWAY✨ We will select three random members to win prizes valued at $20 or more. #FindTheSeed #WLOM2026 #WLOMW2026 #BeOurValentine #ForTheLoveOfLongleaf #WeHeartLongleaf #LongleafLove #RestoreLongleaf #longleafalliance #longleafpineecosystem #longleaf #longleafpine #longleafpines #Pinuspalustris

TREE-ATHLON: The ultimate, long lasting endurance TREE-ATHLON: The ultimate, long lasting endurance event 🥇🌲This Winter Olympics season, we’re taking inspiration from a contender who’s been training for centuries: the longleaf pine.Event 1: The Super “G”All young longleaf pines compete in the Super “G” aka the grass stage – a period where the trees focus their growth underground to develop an extensive root system. Dense longleaf needles protect the tree’s growth bud from fire and will regrow post-burn. Time spent in the grass stage varies greatly with growing conditions. Event 2: The Fire SprintOnce a longleaf pine is ready to initiate height, the race is on! The tree grows rapidly as it transitions into the “bottle brush” or “rocket” stage, moving its growth bud above typical flame heights. During this time, longleaf pines are more vulnerable to fire damage until their bark thickens and protects the inner trunk.Event 3: The Long-RunLongleaf pines continue to grow tall. Lower limbs are pruned by frequent fire, keeping most flames below the tree’s canopy. Dropped needles provide fuel for more frequent fires, along with native groundcover plants that thrive in the open conditions associated with fire-maintained longleaf habitats. Longleaf pines can live for centuries, the longest of all southern pine species. This tree and associated ecosystems are gold champions in resilience. Swipe to see all the longleaf life stages...#Olympics #longleaf #LongleafPine  #grassstage
