Plant a Pine
Why: Trees play a key role in our environment, cleaning the air, filtering water, and providing needed habitat for hundreds of species of insects, and other animals and plants. Trees are an integral part of our ecosystems and they help reduce stress and allow us to connect with nature and provide a calming effect. Imagine a time when you walked through a park among towering trees…that’s why we started the Plant a Pine campaign. Plant a Pine is focused on Longleaf Pine which are native to the Southeast and now cover an estimated 3% of their original habitat. They have long been prized for their commercial use in building houses, ships, and railroads and their resin used for making turpentine. Mature longleaf ecosystems support more than 30 endangered and threatened species, including red-cockaded woodpeckers, gopher tortoises, and indigo snakes. Regular burning to restore their natural rhythms enables longleaf pine to become rich, stable ecosystems. Longleaf pines are fire-adapted and dependent on burning which stabilizes and enriches the soil. When: Plant a Pine kicked off on Earth Day, April 22, 2020 with our goal of planting 100,000 trees by Earth Day 2021 and we accomplished that goal. Now help us plant 100,000 more trees by 2022!
Special thanks goes to partner, Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's Outdoor Fund for their generous $50,000 matching grant in support of this crucial program.  Groups interested in supporting hands-on tree planting projects through the Employees in State Parks program can contact Julia Gill Woodward, Chief Executive Officer. Tree planting projects are limited to specific parks, targeting restoration projects, and restricted planting seasons. Recognition: Donations to Plant a Pine may be dedicated to the memory of a loved one or in honor of another person who are recognized below. Thank you for caring about Florida State Parks and giving to our Plant a Pine campaign. |
