ABOUT
PINEYPOWER LLC and Cathy Antener
PineyPower
LLC is a member of the Southern Ocean
County Chamber of Commerce.
| The
Pine Barrens is becoming a popular tourist destination. It offers
history, nature, boating, camping, fishing, swimming, and most
of all, peace and tranquility. It's important to families who
live here, whether for a few years or many generations, that
our peace and tranquility be preserved. Keep in mind that the
local lawyer or doctor won't look any different than his neighbor
who farms the land. Thousand dollar suits aren't what impress
people of the Pines - taking care of nature and fellow man is
what matters. To that end, it is important for you to know that
as a visitor to our precious Pine Barrens, you should show respect
for the flora and fauna, for the historical buildings or their
remains, and show respect for the "locals". Walk and
drive gently. Treat our Pine Barrens as you would want a visitor
to treat your own home town - and your own family. Thank you. |
