Pinelands Adventures shared an album.

Pinelands Adventures was thrilled to welcome the Independent Order of Oddfellows IOOF NJ for a Pine Barrens Discovery Tour this past Saturday. We laughed and learned and enjoyed a beautiful day at Atsion Recreation Area. A huge thank you to Grand Matriarch Beth Obiedzinski-Garvin and all of the Odd Fellows for coming our and supporting our work!On May 11th, The IOOF Grand Encampment of NJ hosted a Discovery Tour at Atsion Lake. The intent of the day was to give a first hand glimpse of Grand Matriarch Beth Obiedzinski-Garvin’s Program, The Pinelands Preservation Alliance (PPA). Odd Fellows, friends, and family were treated to an amazing day of environmental education and whole lot of fun! PPA Director Carleton Montgomery greeted the group and thanked the Odd Fellows for their generous support. Carleton then introduced Director Rob Ferber who runs the day-to-day operations of the Pinelands Adventures (also in charge of the very tasty lunch). Once everyone was settled, the trekkers were left in the able bodied hands of John Volpe, Education Director and his trusty sidekicks, Canoe Captain Bryan (a very patient man) and Aquatics Andy (seen with GM Raul in the water). John did an interesting presentation on everything Pine Barrens before the group split for the three different legs of the tour: Guided trails, canoeing, and aquatics. The weather was gorgeous; the crowd was affable; and our PPA leaders were both extremely informative and entertaining. Boxed lunches were served at the end of the excursion where the group couldn’t decide if they learned more or laughed more— either way this stellar experience was a HUGE success. THANK YOU Carleton, John, Rob, Andy, and Bryan for ALL that you do! THANK YOU to everyone who attended to support GM Beth’s program! If you missed this, there will be a next time…☺
