NJ Pinelands National Reserve
HAMMONTON - The seventh annual Pinelands Summer Short Course will feature three guided field trips and 12 educational presentations, including a new course on turtles of southern New Jersey.
Registration is open for the event, which will be held 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, June 23 at Stockton University's Kramer Hall in downtown Hammonton.
The event is co-sponsored by the New Jersey Pinelands Commission and Stockton University.
From turtles and orchids to legends and lore, this year's Summer Short Course includes a diverse lineup of presentations that will raise awareness and appreciation of the Pinelands, Pinelands Commission Executive Director Susan R. Grogan said in a release.
Public awareness of the New Jersey Pinelands is probably our best bet over the long term to preserve the precious cultural and environmental resources unique to the Pine Barrens, said Stockton University Literature Professor Thomas Kinsella, who will lead a presentation at the Short Course.
Educators can earn four professional development credits for attending the event.
