They are present in NJ . Seem to be limited to Sussex county at this point . maybe Warren as well . http://www.conservewildlifenj.org/blog/2016/03/22/resurgence-of-new-jerseys-fishers/ Happy 4 th ! Joe

The mole and especially the vole population should drop . Nice Snake !!

Great find !!

Still not understanding how they can consider to build on a Nuclear Regulatory Clean -up site . Even if remediated , how can that be safe ?? Only 2 main roads in the area , 70 and 539 ...can't imagine the traffic .Would be as bad as No Jersey , possibly worse .

Well said Ben !

Mark Great work !! Well Done ! :)

Mark , Thanks for sharing ! Good pics and well written . I'm curious about the ribbon snake ( Only I would notice this :confused: ) : Is it me or is the specimen you photographed a bit "thick " ? I've never seen a ribbon with a similar girth . Maybe he / she had eaten ? possibly...

This one is totally unconscionable .As Chris stated above , it has substantial amounts of threatened /endangered species .Seems Manchester can not get enough development : _ Taxes will skyrocket , schools will be overcrowded . - Proposed site is on a 2 lane road !! There are not enough roads...

Not certain about the fire . I'm there very often as well. It appears to be an abandoned blueberry farm. North of the structure , While overgrown , you can still clearly see the bushes in an organized formation . The building still standing appears to be a 1 car garage .The garage is made of...
