We use print, radio and television. We
use mail, public service announcements and the internet. We make
presentations in schools, for clubs and organizations and before
government agencies and legislative bodies at local, regional state and
federal levels.
We involve the public through lectures,
hikes, contests and special programs. We publish a dramatic and
informative
newsletter three times-a-year, and produce a 30-minute
television program which airs weekly on Cablevision channel 20 (a
new program is shown every month).

Make sure to visit Bridge to the Barrens, our interactive education
portal that is being used by parents, teachers and students Island-wide
to learn more about the Pine Barrens and have a little fun!
The students at the Lincoln Avenue Elementary School in Sayville created
a video on the importance of the protecting the Pine Barrens, and the
ecosystem's relationship to clean drinking water on Long Island. The
video is the product of both the Eco-Challenge, as well as the
classroom's Pine Barrens Ecology curriculum provided by the Central Pine
Barrens Commission. Watch the student's video

Become involved in our Eco-Challenge, a fun
environmental education contest sponsored by the National Grid
Foundation! The contest utilizes New York State learning standards and
can easily fit into existing curricula. Email

For nearly three decades, the Pine Barrens Society’s principle
function has been education. The more that people know about the
Pine Barrens, the more they appreciate them -- and the stronger
their commitment to preservation.
