Holiday Shopping at the Green Trading Post
2
to 4 p.m. Holiday
shoppers tired of the mall, fed-up with catalogs, and seeking to do
something beneficial with their holiday shopping might find the Green
Trading Post, the brainchild of two Pinelands-area non-profit
groups, to be the perfect antidote and solution to those shopping blues.
Organized as a traditional holiday bazaar, the Green Trading Post will
offer merchandise and memberships from local non-profit environmental,
cultural or historical organizations. This one-day event will be
heldat the Bishop Farmstead, headquarters of the Pinelands
Preservation Alliance, will provide holiday shoppers with an
opportunity to use their "greens" for good as well as for gifts.
This event is the creation of two area non-profits, Pinelands
Preservation Alliance and Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New
Jersey. They recognized a need in the holiday gift market - gifts
that give pleasure to the recipient but also support for a good cause.
The two groups invited other area non-profit organizations to join them
to offer their wares to the public. Pinelands Preservation Alliance
offers books about Pinelands history, ecology and culture, CD's and
movies about the region, and t-shirts, hats and mugs adorned with their
logo. The Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey will be
selling their colorful Species on the Edge Wall Calendar for
2008, a beautifully designed calendar featuring the winning entries of
NJ 5th graders who participated in the Species on the Edge Art & Essay
Contest. In addition, CWF will offer children's toys - plush birds,
t-shirts and hats - with their logo. Other groups participating include
Whitesbog Preservation Trust (history and folklore books
and memorabilia); Rancocas Nature Center (nature-themed books and
gifts); and the Natural Resource Education Foundation (t-shirts &
sweats and books of local lore and recipes).
A small number of for-profit organization with connections to the
region's environment, history and culture have also been invited to
attend, including Pinelands Folk Music Center, Abbie Road - Art &
Jewelry, and Anne Marie Woods - Pinelands Art. Light refreshments
will be served. Shoppers will also be able to take guided tours of the
circa 1753 farmhouse and grounds of the Pinelands Preservation Alliance
Headquarters; visit the Pinelands Visitor Center; and browse the current
exhibition of Robin A. Jess: Pinelands Botanical Art prints at the
Bishop Farmstead. Click
