Preserve Management: Pine Barrens Restoration

Pine Barrens Habitat restoration is scheduled to begin the week of October 28 on 45 acres in the Albany Pine Bush Preserve. This forested site, at the intersection of Kings Road and Morris Road, will be thinned in late 2024 and then stumped and planted in early 2025. The objective is to restore this site to the pine barrens it once was.

During this time this site is CLOSED to all public use. For your own safety please visit some of the many other parts of the preserve while this work is underway.
