It\’s a Sign of the Pines
began as a conversation among friends sitting in a Piney bar: how could we bring like-minded people together to celebrate and maintain the cultural richness of the New Jersey Pine Barrens?
Fifteen
years ago our first weekend gathering, entitled
Lines on the Pines
, brought together
a few authors, an
archaeologist and a photographer
whose work reflected or was influenced by the Pines. The annual event has become a much anticipated networking opportunity for presenters and for local community members who attend by the hundreds to talk with authors about the newest Pine Barren\’s themed book,
and now
to look over hand-made jewelry made from nineteenth-century Jersey glass slag, or just chat about the Pines.
Nine
years ago
It\’s a Sign of the Pines
began a second event,
Lines on the Pines for KIDS
Goes to College
! During a one-day event, Pinelands-themed classes
were
offered to children aged 6-12 in Stockton\’s Kramer Hall in Hammonton, NJ. Both events reflect
ed
the core mission of
It\’s a Sign of the Pines
: to celebrate the
authors,
history,
and the
arts and humanities of the NJ Pine Barrens.
Now

the
two
events are combined
