Saving Our Savannas: Stories of the Longleaf Pine was a six-month series of events offered January – June 2024 by the North Carolina Botanical Garden in partnership with several mission-aligned organizations across the state. Program offerings included field trips, lectures and workshops with overarching objectives to increase awareness of and inspire action to support the conservation of longleaf pine natural areas, uplift the cultural significance of these areas to indigenous Tribal Nations in the southeastern U.S. and honor the natural, cultural and historical significance of these remarkable environments. Longleaf pine ecosystems, including savannas, sandhills and others, extend across the southeastern United States from Virginia to Texas.
