In a half-hour documentary, Caucus: New Jersey looks beyond
the picturesque landscape of the Pinelands to examine the
balance between preservation and growth, a story that exemplifies
the evolving debate over economic development and environmental
preservation.
 New
Jersey's Pinelands: A Region at Risk? is a co-production
of the Caucus Educational Corporation and the Pinelands
Preservation Alliance (PPA). To learn more about the
Pinelands call the PPA at (609) 894-8000.
