The Pine Barrens have long been a place where legends, tales, and mythical creatures are born ✨🌲

Curious about this region's folklore? Join us and pinelandsalliance for a family-friendly evening of fun and storytelling around the campfire Saturday, Oct. 19 at 5:45 p.m. at Rancocas Cranberry Farm! The evening's storyteller, our Senior Land Steward Russell Juelg, will delve into myths and legends that have been passed down for generations and discuss the true historical figures who feature in them. We'll also get to take in the sights and sounds of the Pine Barrens during the one-mile walk total to and from the storytelling circle along wide, level trails. Oddities, (a little) fright, and laughter are in store!

Register for this event, "Adventures without Barriers: New Jersey Folklore," at pinelandsadventures.org/adventures/

We are so happy to have Mackenzie on board this season! With a background in outdoor education, she earned her CDL to become the 3rd in a line of female boat wranglers and sugar sand surfers, driving that bus and doing trivia at the same time!!

Do you hear yodeling in the pines? Don't be afraid, it is not the siren song or a hootenanny! Follow the ethereal sound to the orange buoy and she will lead the way back home.

There’s no such thing as bad weather…

Thank you to the 14 wonderful humans that paddlepak’d 10 miles of the Batsto River this weekend. It’s so fulfilling to spend time with folks that love being outside in the Pine Barrens.

With low water levels on the Mullica, pinelandsadventures pivoted and scouted us an overnight trip - 2 miles up the Batsto via Quaker Bridge to Lower Forge then 8 miles back down to the lake. Much appreciation to all the staff for making our trip possible!

Stay tuned for more adventures, shoot a message if you’d like an invite.

Wrong way paddle to start the day, followed by hauling ass to catch up with the rest of your departure group on the very low, but crystal clear, Batsto River. ❤️ 🛶 🌲
