Tall Timbers Research Station announces a

WORKSHOP ON LONGLEAF PINE MANAGEMENT

17 April 1998
Apalachicola Work Center, Apalachicola National Forest, Bristol, FL

Purpose of the Workshop
Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) forests once covered over 70 million acre=
s
of the southeastern coastal plain in the United States.  Today, less than=
 3
million acres of this forest type remain.  The vast decline in longleaf
pine forests is a function of many factors, including a lack of education=

and awareness of the ecological and silvicultural needs of this important=

species.

Currently, there is a great deal of interest in longleaf pine management,=

restoration and stewardship.  Private landowners are recognizing the valu=
e
of longleaf pine for wildlife and recreation.  Numerous public agencies a=
nd
non-governmental organizations are developing programs and initiatives to=

raise the profile of the longleaf pine management on their lands in the
southeastern coastal plain.  Many timber managers are finding that longle=
af
pine is the species best suited for deep sandy sites throughout Florida. =

Those interested in management of longleaf pine, for whatever the reason,=

need an understanding of the opportunities and constraints they will face=
=2E

Field Site
The Bristol workshop will feature an example of uneven-aged timber
management on the Wilma Tract, Apalachicola National Forest, where resear=
ch
is being conducted on the integration of timber harvesting and red cockad=
ed
woodpecker management.
