Invasive Tree Removal: Preserve Area Closure

Starting in early March 2024, 18 acres of invasive and non-native black locust trees will be removed from a site located west of New Karner Road and just south of Pinehurst Blvd. The tree removal is the first step in restoring this site back to the pine barrens it once was. After tree removal the site will be planted with native pine barrens plants. During this time this area is temporarily CLOSED to all public use.

Please view the interactive trail map to see the tree removal locations.

If you have any questions or concerns about this management work, please contact Stewardship Director, Joel Hecht at 518-456-0655 or jhecht@albanypinebush.org
