15. Question:

What is an upland area of the Pinelands?

Answer:

This is land that is relatively high in elevation and dry. Dry uplands cover about three quarters of the Pinelands. Some trees and shrubs that grow in it are pitch pine, post oak, scrub oak, laurel, huckleberries and sand myrtle. "The Plains", along route 72 in Burlington County, New Jersey, are a good example of Pinelands uplands. Here pines and oaks are no taller than a man.
