Technical Teams
The Longleaf Partnership Council also hosts a number of Technical Teams that bring together experts and other interested people to focus on issues that are critical to longleaf restoration. Topics range from prescribed fire to understory restoration to education and outreach. These teams offer an opportunity for anyone, not just Council members, to get involved and contribute their expertise.
