Upcoming Event

Film and Q&A with George Lakey at Old Pine Farm Natural Lands Trust — Saturday, September 12 at 2 PM

You are invited to a very special viewing of the documentary film "Citizen George", about the life and times of George Lakey on Saturday, September 12, at 2 pm at Old Pine Farm Natural Lands Trust. The film is about the life of the 88-year old activist who has been on the front lines of so many important movements—from nuclear disarmament and the Civil Rights Movement to protesting the Vietnam War, doing extensive anti-sexism work, fighting for human rights in Sri Lanka, and advocating for climate justice and LGBTQ+ rights worldwide. And that is just some of the remarkable work that has defined his life.

George is a wealth of knowledge and experience, as well as a truly inspiring example of how to make a difference in the world and in our backyards.

Afterwards, we will have a Q&A with George, during which he will provide in-depth insight into how his techniques and knowledge can be applied to today's troubling times. He will answer any questions our guests may have.

Attendance is free, but Old Pine Farm Natural Lands Trust survives on donations. There will also be books on sale.

RSVP via the Facebook event link. If you know people who are coming that are not on Facebook, please post you + how many extra people you are bringing in the discussion section of the event.

This event will take place in the Willoughby House which is part of Old Pine Farm, 340 Pine Ave. Deptford, NJ, Blackwood Terrace section of the township. Parking available on Pine Avenue.

Our Mission

Old Pine Farm Natural Lands Trust is dedicated to the continued care of the woods, wetlands, and meadow it manages. We are continuing to acquire additional lots to connect the original Old Pine Farm acreage to a larger trail network running through the Blackwood Terrace area. We also strive to create a green trail from the headwaters of Big Timber Creek to the Delaware River. Currently, Old Pine Farm Natural Lands Trust is working toward the immediate goals of obtaining additional property to complete the greenway, as well as the purchase of Willoughby House.

Old Pine Farm

Consisting of more than 50 acres of land, Old Pine Farm is one of the few remaining natural and protected areas along the highly developed tidal portion of Big Timber Creek. It offers a variety of terrain, including a meadow, woodlands, and wetlands, while being surrounded on three sides by many acres of fresh water in the Big Timber Creek. The original Old Pine Farm Natural Lands Trust includes land contiguous to the Big Timber Creek and the Willoughby property, roughly 33 acres. In 2001, the trust purchased an additional 5.1 acres south of Good Intent Road along Bayer Avenue, creating an area called Greenway I. After this purchase, the trustees established a goal of developing a trail to connect Greenway I to the original 33 acres. This lead to the 2003 purchase of another 9.6 acres of land at the end of Second Avenue. This property, Greenway II, adjoins Greenway I. In 2006, an additional 3.3 acres of land between First Avenue and McNaughton Avenue was obtained, creating Greenway III.
