It's
All About the Pine Barrens!
Cloverdale
Farm, Barnegat NJ
In
Late 2004, the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust purchased the 80
acre tract of land known as Cloverdale Road Farm in Barnegat. This
property is tucked away off West Bay Avenue, and with the onslaught
of "adult communities" approved by the Pinelands Commission
in this eastern area of the Pine Barrens, is a much needed and appreciated
measure to assure conservation.
Once
a working cranberry farm, this area is a haven for nature lovers.
Wildflowers, birds and yes, even cranberries are here, all for great
photo opportunities. . . but remember to take nothing but photos,
leave nothing but footprints!

| The
Pine Barrens is becoming a popular tourist destination. It offers
history, nature, boating, camping, fishing, swimming, and most
of all, peace and tranquility. It's important to families who
live here, whether for a few years or many generations, that
our peace and tranquility be preserved. Keep in mind that the
local lawyer or doctor won't look any different than his neighbor
who farms the land. Thousand dollar suits aren't what impress
people of the Pines - taking care of nature and fellow man is
what matters. To that end, it is important for you to know that
as a visitor to our precious Pine Barrens, you should show respect
for the flora and fauna, for the historical buildings or their
remains, and show respect for the "locals". Walk and
drive gently. Treat our Pine Barrens as you would want a visitor
to treat your own home town - and your own family. Thank you. |
