Book Synopsis
Covering 92 million acres from Virginia to Texas, the longleaf pine ecosystem was one of the biologically diverse ecosystems. The author explores the history of these forests and the biodiversity within them, telling the story through first-person travel accounts and interviews with foresters, ecologists, biologists, botanists, and landowners.

Trade Review
"Blending journalism with natural and human history and a keen appreciation for the land, Earley offers persuasive advocacy for a tree little known outside of its immediate region - but one of obvious importance, and one whose ongoing restoration can show other regions how to bring their old ecosystems back to life." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review "[Earley] is a keen and incisive writer, and employs lively quotes and quirky factoids.... Looking for Longleaf is a must-read for anyone interested in conservation or Southern history." - Charlotte Observer"
