The Pinelands Commission passes resolution to protect the Pinelands from off-road vehicle damage

For the first time in its history, the Pinelands Commission passed a resolution that will greatly reduce damages caused by off-road vehicles in the heart of the Pinelands National Reserve within Wharton State Forest. The resolution designates only those sand roads marked on specific USGS topographical maps being available for use by street-legal motorized vehicles.

This map of Wharton will be made available to the public and will present a great public access benefit to those who are seeking a reliable and responsible way to explore its 122,800 acres of preserved open space. Because of the vast area and limited funding for law enforcement, Wharton has become known throughout the Northeast United States as an area where off-road vehicle users could challenge their machines against the land with little or no repercussions. The passage of this resolution makes it clear that the Pinelands National Reserve was not designated to be an off-road vehicle park, but a place where proper management can allow people to co-exist along with a thriving local environment.
