State asks landowners to help restore shortleaf pine to Pinelands
By Michelle Brunetti Post
Pinelands landowners are being asked to plant the native shortleaf pine to restore the species in the region.
It’s part of a 22-state effort, according to the state Department of Environmental Protection, called the Shortleaf Pine Initiative designed to combat a 50 percent decline in the species in the past 30 years.
