Reasons we are a conservation priority site in Louisiana:

1. Money Hill, approximately 20,000 acres in size, makes up part of the East Gulf Coastal Plain eco region.



2. Money Hill contains one of the last remaining functional sites in southeast Louisiana that supports a mosaic of quality or restorable longleaf pine forests and pine wetlands.



3. The Money Hill preserve supports the federally-listed gopher tortoise and Louisiana quillwort.



4. The Money Hill preserve supports over 40 other state and globally-rare species of plants and animals, many of which are restricted to the longleaf pine ecosystem.



5. The Money Hill preserve is a potential restoration area for the federally-listed red-cockaded woodpecker.
