Native American group brings indigenous perspective to land management in Salem County

This video provides an introduction to the Cohanzick Nature Reserve, run by the Native American Advancement Corp. (NAAC) president Tyrese Gould Jacinto and Director of Operations John Barry. In 2023, NAAC acquired 63 acres of Salem County land originally home to the Cohanzick Lenape people, and is now a place for everyone to experience nature.
