Longleaf Pine Savannas are floristically rich, herb-dominated wetlands that are naturally sparsely stocked with Pinus palustris (longleaf pine). They historically dominated the Gulf Coastal Plain flatwood regions from Florida to Texas, including much of southeast and southwest Louisiana. The term “savanna” is classically used to describe expansive herb-dominated areas with scattered trees. Register at
