Pinelands Science Policy Forums

Thirty years ago, the Pinelands was created through a collaboration of science and policy innovation. We aim to renew that synergy to tackle the fundamental challenges the Pinelands faces today through a series of science-policy forums.

Invited attendees come to discuss the state of scientific research and conservation policy with other scientists and policy makers who seek to understand and respond to the conservation challenges facing the Pinelands.

The first kick-off forum, Scientific Research in the Pinelands National Reserve: an overview and status report from the field, provided a framework for shaping more specific topics in the subsequent forums.

These forums include:
