An informative and engaging event is coming up for those interested in the relationship between forests and climate change. The Pinelands Preservation Alliance will be hosting a Pinelands Science Forum on June 13, focusing on the crucial role of forests in addressing climate change.
Scientists and advocates from regulatory agencies, academia, and nonprofits will share their research on the benefits of tree planting, tools for identifying locations, and the pros and cons of different forestry practices. The forum aims to provide valuable insights into the impact of forests on climate change.
Early bird registration for the event is open until May 15, with a cost of $35 per person. After May 15, the registration fee is $45. Registration will remain open until June 3. The forum will be held at PPA’s renovated barn in Southampton, featuring a light breakfast and lunch, as well as a tour of PPA’s Rancocas Creek Farm. Presentations will be recorded and shared publicly for those unable to attend.
