When Regis Philbin of “Live with Regis and Kelly” shows up at your door on Peach Street with a truck from Lowe’s Home Improvement and 28 Lowe’s employees not far behind, you know something good is about to happen.

Executive Director
Pinelands Commission

Residents can take pride in knowing that their state has successfully implemented a plan to safeguard the unique resources of the million-acre Pinelands area in southern New Jersey for nearly 30 years. The New Jersey Pinelands Commission, the agency that oversees land-use, development and natural resource protection in the Pinelands, remains vigilant in its mandate to protect the region’s environment.
