Pinelands Community Network

The Community Network is a group of engaged citizens coordinated by the Pinelands Preservation Alliance. We welcome many levels of involvement which can range from simply getting to know your neighbors better to regularly attending your local planning/zoning board and town council meetings. To better anticipate, recognize, and respond to development projects or other detrimental activities occurring in your communities, we need your help! Learn more and sign up on the Action Network page. Questions? Contact Heidi at heidi@pinelandsalliance.org or call her at 609-859-8860 ext 122.
