Working in the SE U.S. to guide longleaf restoration, stewardship, and conservation using science-based outreach, partnership, and on-the-ground assistance.
It is an honor to be part of the inaugural HCLTech Grant Americas recipients. This grant will allow us to provide resources to restore longleaf forests for climate mitigation, biodiversity, and all the values these forests provide.
We antcipiate that longleaf pine will reach its *peak* pollen shedding *March 11-12*! Read below about how we know this because of pioneering reserach from Dr. Bill Boyer on longleaf pine reproduction ecology!
A year ago, our staff rescued Sandhills pyxie-moss plants from a site in eastern NC set to be bulldozed. Today, one of those plants is blooming at the Garden — and that same plant is on the cover of The Longleaf Leader from @TLA_Longleaf!

What a great day celebrating the Caldwell-Dietzel Farm, their active management of longleaf pine, & their long-lasting legacy. Part of the farm has been in the family since 1811!!!!
Joe Dietzel was presented an award for conservation work with longleaf needle pine. Love seeing our landowners succeed in their conservation efforts. Also like to thank our friends at @ncforestservice and the Longleaf Alliance. Proving conservation is a team effort.
