Long Leaf Pine planting
Over 3000 long leaf pines were recently planted randomly throughout the farm to accompany the pine seedlings prepared by student visitors during our Earth Day celebration last spring. Long leaf pines are native to this Area of Florida and are more resilient to the negative impacts of climate change than other southeastern pines. They can withstand severe windstorms, resist pest, tolerate wildfires and drought, and capture carbon pollution from the atmosphere.
