Protecting and Preserving 1,300 acres
Ecological Paradise in Our Own Backyard
Improving habitat protection for the distinctive, rare, threatened and endangered plant and animal species of the Pinelands.
Our water is a precious natural resource and not an unlimited commodity.
Pinelands water bodies are extremely sensitive to human influences from housing developments, agricultural activities, septic systems, landfills, and the application of fertilizers and pesticides. Some of the reasons for this are that Pinelands soils are highly porous, composed primarily of quartz (silica), and have little or no organic content and clay. As a result, the soils have little filtering ability with regards to contaminants. These factors, coupled with the strong interconnection between groundwater and streams, make the Pinelands a very fragile ecosystem.
Uplands. Lowlands. Aquatic Communities.
The Pine Barrens is primarily made up of three distinct kinds of communities: uplands, lowlands, and aquatic communities. These broad categories are learning devices we invent; many natural areas, especially transition or “ecotone” areas, don’t fit neatly into these three broad categories, but have characteristics of more than one.
