Prior to Save the Pine Bush, Inc., Lynne Jackson was actively involved in Citizen's Protecting the Environment (CPE) an environmental organization based in Schenectady, New York. The series includes CPE agendas and meeting minutes, brochures, budgets, correspondence, and papers concerning a recycling education class project. Also included are press releases and numerous newsletters from other organizations connected to environmental activism. Though there are a variety of organizations which produced newsletters represented in the collection, there is generally only one or two newsletters per group. One oversize box contains larger newsletters printed on newsprint.

Series is broken into the sub-series Lawsuits and Challenges. The Lawsuits sub-series includes Draft Environmental Impact Statements (DEIS), Final Environmental Impact Statements (FEIS), Freedom of Information Act requested material (mostly photocopies and faxes of developer proposals and developer, city, or town correspondence), and litigation papers such as Notice of Petitions, Affidavits, Briefs, Memorandum of Law, and Appeals Claims. Early Lawsuits may have the name Friends of the Pine Bush, the original unincorporated name of the organization.
