We released our annual State of the Pinelands Report this week. This report offers a comprehensive assessment of the Pinelands' current state, the historical events that have shaped the present, and the outlook for the future. “The state of our political and natural environment is a signal to the Pinelands Preservation Alliance that our advocacy is desperately needed,” said Jaclyn Rhoads, Executive Director. “Climate change, federal rollbacks of environmental protections, and dramatic funding cuts are a threat to the Pinelands and its people.” Read the report https://lnkd.in/gcAMGEiw #nj #climate

Preserving nature in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Ensuring everyone has access to its natural resources and history.
关于我们
Pinelands Preservation Alliance is a volunteer-driven, nonprofit organization committed to the ongoing protection of the New Jersey Pinelands National Reserve. We promote wide public engagement in their preservation and advance the acquisition of land and development rights by private and public conservation agencies. In addition to this work, the Alliance has multiple initiatives: Pinelands Adventures, an outdoor recreation program aimed at fostering public understanding of and devotion to the Pinelands; Rancocas Creek Farm a sustainable, chemical-free farm connected to our mission to protect the Pinelands; AccessNature, a movement to increase open space opportunities throughout New Jersey for people of all abilities; and the Landscape Makeover Program, green infrastructure designed to transform lawn and archaic stormwater systems into native habitat that also improves surface and groundwater quality. We are dedicated to furthering justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in our staff and our work. Everyone should have access to recreation, clean air and water, and the scenic beauty the Pinelands provides.

We are honored to support the amazing work of the NJ Food Democracy Collaborative and the partners!
On December 5, 2024, our Food Justice co-coordinators attended the South Jersey Regional Food Systems Summit, hosted by NJ Food Democracy Collaborative at the Pinelands Preservation Alliance, NJ. This event provided a valuable opportunity to reconnect with fellow food systems advocates, organizations, farmers, and institutions in Southern New Jersey. We engaged in fruitful conversations about strategies for a region often overlooked, reflecting on our collective strengths, identifying gaps, and exploring potential collaborative initiatives. The summit’s activities fostered a space for introspection and collective action—reminding us that when we come together, we can truly amplify our impact and move our local food systems forward. Stay tuned for the exciting collaborations ahead! #FoodJustice #SouthJersey #LocalFoodSystems #NJFoodDemocracy #Pinelands #CommunityBuilding #RegionalCollaboration #SustainableAgriculture

I am proud of the work that Pinelands Alliance does, with the support of our members & partners & advocates, to protect the Pinelands for generations to come. This is a great blog written by my co-worker, Jason Howell, that speaks to the Wharton State Forest Visitor Use Map and why it is so important for environmental stewardship and low-impact, responsible recreation!
New Blog Post - Wharton State Forest Visitor Use Map The new map of Wharton State Forest, released on November 25, 2024, marks a turning point. Developed with input from park visitors, wildlife experts, historians, and GIS specialists, the map balances recreational access with environmental stewardship. It designates specific areas for vehicles, ensuring that sensitive ecosystems remain undisturbed. ? The new map reflects the hard work of the Park Service, the Pinelands Commission, the Pinelands Preservation Alliance, and countless advocates who have fought to protect the Pines. The Pinelands continue to be one of the most important harbors of wildlife and nature on the East Coast. We want to thank the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) for their work on this map! ? Read the blog here: https://lnkd.in/evEyqFy3

Parts of New Jersey, including most of the Pine Barrens, are now in what is considered a severe drought. Conditions of low humidity and gusty winds will prevail until Thursday evening, prompting a red flag warning for fire danger. Fire danger is very high for the entire state meaning no camp fires and no agricultural burning. https://lnkd.in/efxr8rzQ
