Seeking Submissions in Science, Arts, & Humanities

WHO SHOULD SUBMIT?
The Alliance encourages individuals, students, and professionals passionate about the longleaf pine ecosystem to use the Biennial Longleaf Conference as a forum for information exchange, project feedback, and networking. Submitting your work for inclusion in the Conference program provides a platform to do just that!

We welcome contributions from private landowners, longleaf enthusiasts, land managers, wildlife biologists, students, researchers, consultants, forestry, business, and technology professionals, agency and outreach personnel, artists, and content creators.

WHAT TOPICS WILL THE LONGLEAF CONFERENCE FOCUS ON?
The Conference theme will be Joining Together for Tomorrow’s Forest, and the tracks will center around the components of the recently updated Range-wide Conservation Plan for Longleaf Pine (2025-2040).

We invite you to submit proposals on pertinent topics of management, fire, ecological services, groundcover restoration, economics, wildlife conservation, education, policy, history, art, and culture.
