Pinelands Research Institute

Pinelands Preservation Alliance (PPA) is in process of creating the Pinelands Research Institute to serve as a field station in the New Jersey Pine Barrens to conduct research and welcome scientists from the region and beyond interested in carrying out research here.  We aim to open and launch the field station by the end of 2024 or early 2025.  So we are still in the learning and building phase.
