🌲 Supporting the Restoration of Florida's Native Forests A Living Tribute is proud to support reforestation efforts within Florida's Withlacoochee State Forest, helping to restore native longleaf pine ecosystems that play a vital role in wildlife habitat, watershed protection, biodiversity, and long-term forest resilience. Longleaf pine forests once dominated much of the southeastern United States but today represent only a small fraction of their historic range. Reforestation initiatives help reverse this trend by establishing native trees that will provide ecological benefits for generations to come. Through our Florida tree planting program, individuals, families, and organizations can directly support these restoration efforts while creating meaningful living tributes in honor of loved ones, employees, clients, and special occasions. Each planting contributes to: • Native habitat restoration • Watershed and soil protection • Carbon sequestration and climate resilience • Long-term forest stewardship in Florida Together, we ca create lasting legacies while investing in the future of Florida's forests. #Reforestation #Sustainability #Conservation #ESG #CorporateGiving #EnvironmentalStewardship #Florida #TreePlanting #Biodiversity #ClimateAction #ALivingTribute #LongleafPine #NatureBasedSolutions

Restoring longleaf pine woodlands boosts streamflow during drought. This new video covers our study on how climate-smart forestry can help conserve water across the Southeast. 🌲💧 Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=bPofqgCk… #LongleafPine #Forestry #WaterConservation @Treewater229

🔥 New study: 85% of remaining #LongleafPine habitat faces tropical storm-force winds every 6 years. We explore how #storms, #fire, insects, and salvage logging interact to shape resilience—and what managers can do about it. Led by @nezampieri bit.ly/44QK3Uk

After the fire, the ground smolders. Then — a week later — green shoots emerge. Wiregrass, blazing star, pitcher plants. Native plant species in the #longleafpine ecosystems aren’t just fire-tolerant, they are fire-dependent––many of them need the flames to flower and set seed.

👏Big congratulations to former City Attorney L. Ash Smith on receiving the prestigious Order of the Long Leaf Pine, one of NC’s highest honors! Presented by Mayor Pro Tem Dave Kirlin, this award celebrates his outstanding service to Gastonia and NC. #LongLeafPine #GastoniaProud

On Lighting a Match, join Caleb in the #longleafpine sandhills as he explains how prescribed burning this time of year plays a critical role in managing species like turkey oak and creating space for #wiregrass and other native groundcover to thrive. oriannesociety.org/lighting-…

Wishing “Happy 477th Birthday”🥳 to our World’s Oldest Longleaf Pine Tree!🌲 #PartyforthePine🌲 #Tree🌲 #OldTree 🌲 #LongleafPine🌲 #Nature #SandhillsNC #TreeLover😊❤️🌲 #WeymouthWoods #SouthernPinesNC

We grow trees, lots of them! In 2025, we’ll plant over 550,000 Longleaf and Loblolly pine trees on @SRSNews. Pine tree seeds extracted from cones collected here on SRS and grown into seedlings will find their way back home to be planted. #USFS #Longleafpine #Forestry @USFSRegion8

Honored to present Keith Wilder the prestigious #LongLeafPine Award for his extraordinary service to #NC, a testament to the incredible legacy he built & the countless lives he touched during his 38 yrs as a leader, visionary, & mentor at @RaleighNCFire. @PFFPNC @IAFFofficial

Mississippi landowner Judd Brooks was honored with the Longleaf Award at the Mississippi Longleaf Implementation Team Annual Meeting for his significant contributions to longleaf pine restoration and conservation in MS. #LongleafPine #MSforestry

Very happy to get this paper out about the importance of #hydrauliclift in #longleafpine. Not only does HL provide a substantial water subsidy for trees, but it can also reduce water stress in groundcover plants. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

A prescribed burn conducted earlier this month at TNC's Piney Grove Preserve marked 25 years of "good fire" for the Virginia Pinelands Program! 🔥 #GoodFire #PrescribedFire #LongleafPine #VirginiaPinelands Photos: Andi Clinton/TNC

A local leadership development program in Albany, GA, recently visited Ichauway as part of their South GA natural resources day. It was a beautiful morning in the woods talking about #longleafpine , #rxfire, gopher tortoises, red-cockaded woodpeckers, and a touch of quail.

The Orianne Society burn team has been busy this season! Here are some of the photogenic reptiles and amphibians that they've stopped to admire and relocate from the fire line. #OrianneSociety #goodfire #prescribedfire #longleafpine #rxburn #burnboss #driptorch #conservation

On Lighting a Match this month, Caleb walks us through a #prescribedburn at night, where the calm nighttime conditions serve as a great training opportunity for our newest burn crew members. oriannesociety.org/lighting-… #prescribedfire #longleafpine #rxburn #landmanagement
