Introducing Science Rocks the Pinelands!

We can’t protect New Jersey’s Pinelands without science.  Science helps us discover how to protect plants, animals, and other natural resources in the New Jersey Pinelands.  It informs policies that aim to balance human use of the Pinelands with its ecological survival.  We don’t talk about science in the Pinelands much but that is about to change!

Every Wednesday you will get an inside look at science in the Pinelands on all our social media channels.  Share your questions, thoughts, ideas, and observations!  Find past posts easily by using  #sciencerocksthepinelands. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

This week meet our Director of Conservation Science, Dr. Ryan Rebozo.  Next Wednesday Ryan will start telling you about his projects in the field.
