Longleaf Pine
Project
A meeting was held in the Etowah Room of the Cartersville Civic Center on Thursday, July 15, 2004. The meeting began at 6 p.m. and lasted approximately an hour and a half. Participants discussed the location of the longleaf pine project, the pros and cons of a longleaf ecosystem, and the public had an opportunity to ask questions about the project. If you would like to view the plans for the Longleaf Project or any other material pertaining to it, please visit the Longleaf Ecosystem Restoration page.
