The Impact of
Reforesting Longleaf Pines
The impact of longleaf pine doesn’t stop with carbon sequestration. Longleaf pine trees as a species are endangered after decades of logging for timber. Longleaf ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots, providing habitats for numerous plant and animal species, some of which are rare and endangered. By contributing to the growth of these ecosystems, you’re playing a vital role in preserving our planet’s rich biodiversity and native species.
