Pine art exhibition scheduled september 3-october31

摘要

From the longleaf pine forests that covered Alabama before settlement, to the millions of acres of loblolly pine plantations that are part of our contemporary timber industry, pines have played a crucial role in Alabamaculture, development, and industry. Pines are symbolically and ceremonially important trees to many Native American people, but their meaning varies from tribe to tribe. Some view the pine tree as a symbol of longevity that denotes wisdom and harmony with nature. Today's long-term management of pine forests produces a renewable resource, erosion protection, watersheds, recreation, and habitats for wildlife.
