Low-Density Forest District
The purpose of the forest zones is to protect undistributed forested portions of the protection area which support characteristic Pinelands plant and animal species. The areas are an essential element of the Pinelands environment and are very sensitive to random and uncontrolled development. Some parts of the forest area are more suitable for development than others, provided that such development is subject to strict environmental performance standards. The division of this area into two forest zones is intended to provide a transition between developed areas and outlying permitted average density in close proximity to the more developed areas and maintaining the low-density character of the outlying areas.
