Abstract

We contacted federal, state, and private land managers and owners to determine current trends for the planting of longleaf pine via location, year planted, provenance, and acreage in Virginia. Over 1600 acres of longleaf pine was planted in Virginia from 2009-2010 (Figure 1), more than tripling that planted in the preceding ten years (total to date 2155 acres). Equally encouraging was the increased use of indigenous Virginia longleaf pine planting stock. The current trend for longleaf pine planting in Virginia is therefore moving in a positive direction.
