Assistance is tailored to meet the specific question(s), using the best method(s) to provide a prompt and accurate response. This may be by phone, email, or when possible a site visit, and sometimes soliciting partner assistance to meet your needs. Use the form below to get started:

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 Fund

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!

Did you know that a warm road can look like the pe Did you know that a warm road can look like the perfect resting spot to a snake? That’s why it’s always a good idea to watch out for our scaly friends on the roads.Snakes are ectotherms, meaning they rely on their surrounding environment to regulate their body temperature. Roads often provide a desirable heat source because they absorb warmth during the day and slowly release it as temperatures cool in the evening and overnight hours.Snakes also cross roads while moving between habitats, searching for food, or seeking mates (in some cases, pheromones can lead them across roadways during breeding season).When driving, remain especially vigilant during early morning and later at night, when snakes are more likely to seek warm pavement. If you spot a snake on the road, slow down safely, hit your hazard lights (if appropriate), and give the animal an opportunity to cross. Many times, if given the chance, a snake will move out of the way on its own.If the snake doesn’t budge, you may gently encourage it to move in the direction it was already traveling using a long stick or similar object to coax them across. However, never attempt to handle or pick up a snake unless you can confidently identify it and have appropriate training and experience.Safe travels to both you and our lovely snake friends. 🐍🚗📸 Cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus), photo by Julianne Jones - @Ambystomajones#IBrakeforSnakes #SnakeWeek #SnakeConservation #WorldSnakeDay #snakes
Longleaf-ers (yes, that includes YOU!) continue to Longleaf-ers (yes, that includes YOU!) continue to make progress to restore, conserve, and maintain critical longleaf pine habitat.Although 2025 data show declines in planting and prescribed burning compared to previous years, the year was marked by a record-setting acreage for long-term land protection as well as numerous successes that extend beyond acreage metrics. Despite challenges such as shifting economic conditions, poor longleaf pine cone crops, and continued recovery efforts from a very active hurricane season in 2024, the longleaf community demonstrated adaptability and strong collaboration across the Southeast. Private landowners played a particularly significant role, accounting for the majority of new longleaf plantings and, for the first time, conducting more prescribed burning than any public lands group.Read the full report at americaslongleaf.org (link in bio)
Today, we recognize National Wildland Firefighter Today, we recognize National Wildland Firefighter Day, held during the Week of Remembrance – a time to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice on the fireline and to reflect on the lessons their stories continue to teach us. Established in 2014, the Week of Remembrance marks the span between the tragic Yarnell Hill (June 30, 2013) and South Canyon (July 6, 1994) fires—events that, along with many others, have deeply shaped the wildland fire community. At The Longleaf Alliance, we are proud to have staff who serve as wildland firefighters and prescribed burners, working to restore the longleaf ecosystem through fire. Their dedication, skill, and commitment to safe, effective fire management are at the heart of our mission.This year, we also pause with heavy hearts to acknowledge the recent loss of wildland firefighters Emily Barker (38, Michigan), Nick Hutcherson (27, Arizona), and Sydney Watson (27, Alabama). We honor their memory and stand in solidarity with their families, crews, and the entire fire community.To our staff and all wildland firefighters: thank you for your unwavering commitment to stewarding our landscapes. 🔥💛#NationalWildlandFirefighterDay #WeekOfRemembrance #FireAdapted #GoodFire
July 1st should be in your longleaf management cal July 1st should be in your longleaf management calendar. Why? Because TODAY is the day that several state-operated nurseries begin accepting seedling orders for the upcoming planting season. Ordering early, even if you are waiting to hear back about a cost-share application, is your best chance to guarantee seedlings.Find a list of our partnering nurseries at longleafalliance.org (link in bio)#longleaf  #LongleafPine #RestoreLongleaf📷 Longleaf pine "babies" in container trays for nursery production.
