In order to better serve our southern New Jersey clients, HA has a central Pine Barrens office in Pemberton, Burlington County, New Jersey. Our facility is located at 405 Magnolia Road, on 6.5 acres of mixed pine-oak forest and pitch pine lowlands. We have natural vernal ponds and old blueberry farm habitat with winding nature trails on our property. The diverse habitat supports many forms of native Pine Barrens plants and wildlife, especially snakes, turtles, and frogs.

Our office and library space is 2,500 square feet and is used as our laboratory and quarantine holding area for processing snakes. We also surgically implant radio transmitters in snakes, or attach them to turtle shells for radio-tracking studies. We also have a separate outbuilding that houses our snake and turtle exhibits for public education programs.

Dave Schneider manages the Pine Barrens office. Dave Burkett is our assistant regional manager and field technician for the Pine Barrens office. Robert T.  Zappalorti, Jr. offers technical support, and web design for all business operations at the corporate headquarters.
