For the February Save the Pine Bush Hike, we will be visiting Blueberry Hill Pine Barrens. These lands were saved from development, thanks to hard-fought eight-year battle with developers by Save the Pine Bush, which resulted in setting legal precedents for cumulative impact under the State Environmental Quality Review Act.

We will explore one of the most scenic vistas in the Pine Bush and discuss the restoration efforts of this area. Those joining the hike should dress in layers, as it may be cold. Should there be snow or ice, please bring snowshoes, skis, or ice cleats. Don’t forget to pack water.
