Protecting the Pinelands sometimes means taking the fight to court. Discover how legal advocacy plays a vital role in conservation and how your support helps make this work possible. Learn about some of the dozens of lawsuits that the Pinelands Alliance has either led or supported. These issues include proposed pipelines through the Pinelands, the integrity of New Jersey's State parks, and the retention of long-sought flood mitigation rules known as the NJ REAL Rules. You'll hear how your support helps us hire lawyers to represent us in these cases and advocate for your interests.
