Discover the unique ecology of Longleaf Pine ecosystems, from the diverse plant communities and wildlife they support to the natural role of fire in shaping the landscape. Learn how prescribed burning helps maintain healthy pine savannas, supports biodiversity, and protects one of Southeast Louisiana’s increasingly rare natural habitats.
