ANNOUNCEMENT: The season isn't winding down!

Now that summer has come to a close, we have been feeling incredibly grateful for everyone who spent time in the Pines with us this season. We wanted to send out a big thank you to all who paddled with us, curious explorers who joined a guided hike, students who got their hands dirty and their feet muddy, campers who dared to embrace adventure, and everyone in between!

But here's the thing: WE'RE NOT DONE!

The Pines are entering one of our favorite times of the year, and we are continuing to run self-guided and guided trips on the Mullica and Batsto Rivers through the end of October! Fall brings an entirely new landscape to explore and we hope you're just as excited as we are to get out there!

From November through March, be on the lookout for some new and returning programming! Our Lost Industries Bus Tour and our John McPhee Pine Barrens Today Bus Tour will be back on the schedule soon. We'll also be hosting specialty indoor events at our new campground Pine Tree Center - think basket weaving, Pine Barrens inspired herbalism and cooking classes, paint + sips, and more!

We're looking forward to seeing how we can continue to inspire and educate Pine Barrens explorers year round - not just in the Summer!

We can't wait to see you out there!

With gratitude,
Vince Iannone, Pinelands Adventures Manager
Monica Cahill, Assistant Manager
Megan Bailey, Programming Manager
Bill Sherwood, Pine Tree Center Manager
