#LongleafPine - Beautiful trees up to 120 feet tall, with a distinctive #FlakyBark. Great tactile experience if you're a tree hugger. Native to Southeastern US, these tall pines are prized in construction for their long straight beams.

SCIENMAG featured our lab post-doc @nzampieri.bsky.social's work on how intensifying hurricanes threaten endangered longleaf pine ecosystems, and what strategies we can take to protect them #LongleafPine #ClimateChange #Ecology scienmag.com/new-research...
Sometimes the path forward isn’t the one we planned—but it still leads to recovery.

In the foreground, wiregrass growth just a few weeks after a prescribed burn at the Longleaf Stewardship Center. Guests and Orianne Society staff looking at the renewed landscape in the background.
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.

Once, #longleafpine forests covered over 90 million acres across the Southeast. Today, less than 2% remains. Centuries of logging, fire suppression, and replanting with fast-growing species have left these ecosystems teetering on the edge.
On Lighting a Match, join Caleb Goldsmith 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.

Tall longleaf pines stood almost in rows across the open ground. Their trunks were blackened by old fire. The grass and brush beneath them glowed in low morning sunlight that came in sideways.
