The Longleaf Landscape Stewardship Fund is dedicated to the conservation of longleaf pine and bottomland hardwood forests within their historical range. This grant program emphasizes voluntary restoration and conservation efforts, promoting on-the-ground projects that align with these goals. It operates through a coalition of federal funding sources, including the USDA’s Forest Service and Natural Resources Conservation Service, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, alongside private funding from corporations such as Altria Group, International Paper, and Southern Company. With significant financial backing, including a substantial contribution from the Bezos Earth Fund, the program offers grants ranging from $250,000 to $3,000,000 to support a variety of conservation projects.
