Pine Barrens of New Jersey Quietly Stand as Barrier to Megacity Growth
The Pine Barrens near Hog Wallow, New Jersey, home to about 48 Pineys, sit amid a vast urban belt from Boston to Washington. Residents rely on forest bounty, electricity is common, and roads range from dirt paths to paved routes. Pineys prize isolation, resist city growth plans, and uphold a sparse, self reliant lifestyle despite nearby press of industry and population.
