Invasive Plant Treatments 2020. Contractors will be treating invasive plants in various parts of the preserve. Visitors may encounter this work near some of the preserve trails although trails will not be closed while these treatments are taking place.  Invasive plants threaten the long term viability of the pine barrens and must regularly be eliminated.
