Lunch & Learn: Charcoal Making in the Pinelands at The Tuckerton Seaport

Join Patti Trasferini of Cloverdale Farm County Park and Mary May, basket weaver, as they explore how Ocean County settlers spanned deeper into the Pine Barrens as they took advantage of the natural resources of bog iron and the plentiful Pitch Pine forests in the creation of charcoal to fuel the iron industry. This program will take an in-depth look at the process of making charcoal, the tools involved, and the lifestyle lived by many of Ocean County charcoal makers, commonly referred to as Colliers
