Through these steps, The Nature Conservancy will ensure that viable examples representing the full spectrum of Georgia s diverse longleaf pine forests will remain for future generations. Presentation topics included conservation management, prescribed burning, landowner incentives, conservation easements, and the Safe Harbor program for red-cockaded woodpeckers. The longleaf pine ecosystem supports more than 300 globally imperiled species. Aside from military bases, private individuals own most of the remaining longleaf pine in Georgia. The longleaf pine forest is an endangered community.
Fire is to the longleaf pine forest what rain is to the rain forest.
