A BIG congratulations to America's Longleaf Restoration Initiative and the many people whose efforts continue to move longleaf restoration forward.

Their latest Accomplishment Report is full of examples of what can be accomplished when people work together.

America’s Longleaf partners established nearly 93,000 acres of new longleaf pine in 2025, with 63% on private lands and a record 12,707 acres gained from silviculture. Even in a tough seed year, partners rallied and a record 34,000 bushels of pine cones were collected to support future planting.
