The Longleaf Pine Savanna – An Artistic Exploration of an Ecosystem
An exhibition by the members of the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators Carolinas Chapter and North Carolina Botanical Artists
Circle
Exhibit Reception: Sunday, March 3; 2-4 p.m.
In the 1600s, the longleaf pine ecosystem covered 90 million acres that extended continuously from Virginia to Florida and Texas. Due to extensive urbanization and fire exclusion, today it only exists in small areas. This rich ecosystem is one of the most diverse habitats in North America and includes many federal endangered species as well as species of concern. This exhibit includes a selection of flora and fauna that still exist in the longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) environment.
