The Nature Conservancy in Alabama

The Nature Conservancy in Alabama In Alabama, The Nature Conservancy's history of strategic land acquisitions has created a foundation for broad-scale conservation.

Since 1951, The Nature Conservancy has taken direct action based on sound science to protect Earth’s most important natural places, including more than 157,000 acres across Alabama and more than 120 million acres around the world. Today, thanks to the work of the Conservancy and our public and private partners, places like the Walls of Jericho, the Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge and the Gra

nd Bay Savanna are now permanently protected natural areas for all to enjoy with great pride. Despite The Nature Conservancy’s successes, it is important to remember that so much remains to be done in Alabama. We must look beyond the horizon and secure resources that will carry our work into the future. Your gift will allow us to maintain the critical work that goes on every day, keeping our conservation staff in the field to
protect and restore our priceless heritage. Your commitment to conservation will ensure a healthier Alabama for future generations to inherit. Please show your love of Alabama! To make a gift or for more information, contact us at:

The Nature Conservancy’s focus on lands, waters and coastal ecosystems supports an ambitious approach that reaches across state borders. TNC is working closely with communities in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama to provide science‑based solutions to complex conservation challenges. Through projects like the Atchafalaya River Basin Initiative in Louisiana, floodplain reconnection projects in Mississippi, and land protection efforts in Alabama, we are building a conservation strategy that is comprehensive, integrated, and grounded in the landscapes and waters that sustain us.

🦪 In Alabama, oysters are a major part of the state's coastal culture, commercial fishing industry and food scene. But did you know that it's possible to enjoy these Gulf Coast delicacies while giving back to coastal ecosystems that support their development and growth? In Alabama, more than 456 dump trucks worth of oyster shells have been recycled from restaurants from Mobile to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach by the Alabama Coastal Foundation. Since 2016, the program has diverted oyster shells from landfills to restoring 120 acres of oyster reefs off the state’s coast.

🌱 Earlier this year, TNC planted an astounding two million longleaf seedlings across Alabama, Georgia and the panhandle of Florida, thanks to funding support from Bezos Earth Fund and International Paper through the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s Longleaf Landscape Stewardship Fund. That includes 1,156,454 seedlings planted in Alabama alone!

These plantings are in addition to 66,000 longleaf pine seedlings planted by TNC’s Alabama staff in the Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge this year. Planting longleaf pine is a gift to the future, restoring resilience, enriching wildlife habitat and strengthening the natural heritage of the South.

🌲Longleaf conservation is powered by partnership.

America’s Longleaf 2025 Accomplishment Report highlights 1.95 million acres of longleaf management activities and record-setting land protection efforts across the longleaf range. As a partner of America's Longleaf Restoration Initiative (ALRI), TNC works alongside a broad network of partners to protect, restore and steward longleaf forests while advancing conservation priorities through the Longleaf Partnership Council
📍In Alabama, partners reported 423,607 acres of longleaf management activities, including more than 383,000 acres treated with prescribed burning.

These efforts help provide clean air and water, support working forests and local economies, reduce wildfire risk and sustain the rich wildlife that depends on longleaf ecosystems. Read the report: https://nature.ly/45UClIA

The Nature Conservancy's burn crew manager Brittany Seaborg helped with posting new markers along the Keel Mountain Preserve’s rugged sandstone slopes near Huntsville. This 310‑acre refuge protects rare species like the Morefield’s leather flower (Clematis morefieldii) and offers some of the most stunning bluff views in the region. Keeping boundaries clear helps us safeguard it for generations to come.

Our staff hosted LSU Botanist Dr. Chris Reid at The Nature Conservancy's Talisheek Preserve in Louisiana. He was in search of a rare sedge—Curtiss’ beaksedge (Rhynchospora curtissii)—that is endemic only to the southern portions of Mississippi and Alabama, and the Florida panhandle. Although the sedge has never been found in Louisiana, he suspects that Talisheek’s routinely burned flatwoods savannas would be good habitat. Dr. Reid didn't find any on that day, but the group was treated to other great plants, including blooming Stokes’ aster (Stokesia laevis) and swamp azalea (Rhodoendron viscosum).
