Annual Longleaf Pine Planting
HCAS Volunteers Make It Happen!
Platt Branch WEA is well-known for its Red-cockaded Woodpecker population. They are thriving in this area because of the established longleaf pines. These special woodpeckers require living longleaf pines for nesting, as the trees provide them with safety from snakes and other predators.
Highlands County Audubon works in coordination with FWC to plant additional trees. In addition to providing long-term habitat restoration, our efforts will remove one METRIC TON of CO2 over the lifetime of each tree planted.
Highlands County Land Preservation Planning
Highlands County Audubon Society is Active in Land Conservation
The photo was taken at Rafter T Ranch. This property is an example of what preserving ranch land here in Highlands County is about. When needed, our members stand up for and advocate for additional lands to be placed under protection.
