Habitat Types

Coastal Plains

The Coastal Plains region of the longleaf pine range is found at 130 to 250 feet above sea level. The land is characterized as having rolling hills and habitat that insures well drained soil. It is thought that 30% of the historic range was rolling hill habitat. This habitat type depends on fire every 1-3 years to maintain a healthy ecosystem.
