Russell Juelg, a land steward and educator for the New Jersey Conservation Foundation, will explore the surprising diversity of plant communities in this treasured region of New Jersey—including historical and current attempts to categorize the various communities. He will also look at some notable rare plants, including true endemics to the region. He will discuss how the distinctive ecological conditions in the Pine Barrens, as well as hydrology and fire, created and maintain these communities.

Russell Juelg’s botany education began with organizing and leading a growing number of public educational and recreational programs in New Jersey’s Pine Barrens. A graduate of Texas Christian University, his former positions have included working for 11 years with the Pinelands Preservation Alliance and three years as the managing director of the Woodford Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge in Medford, NJ. He currently is working on a publication featuring the vascular plants of South Jersey.
