    Wood Ducks in love and other stories

    A broken elbow (finally healed) has caused me to sit and review the past 11 months of photos, and I found these shots.

    Save the Pole Bridge Forest

    Banning books, banning black curriculum, denial of the settled science of climate change, gutting the voting rights act of 1965 and the refusal to accept a legal and fair national election result in 2020. Noam Chomsky's term and I think it is a perfect description. And gun violence is now the...

    Save the Pole Bridge Forest

    New Jersey is a tiny state. Wharton State Forest is a relatively small forest at 123,00 acres. There are state forests 140 times that size. My interest in preserving 19,000 trees in 152 acres and a fairly contiguous 700 acres (which seems accurate) is climate change. Trees remove carbon dioxide...

    Save the Pole Bridge Forest

    I removed the area at the top and still have 154 acres, not 130. The issue is the much larger bisected forest, which will be destroyed by the new development. I hope people viewing this will look into the issue and decide for themselves. I am speaking for myself. I do not belong to to the...

    Save the Pole Bridge Forest

    I did some calculations using Google maps and an area "feet to acres" calculator. First, your acre calculation is innacurate. The development area is 180 acres, not 130 acres as you stated. Second, the development area completely bisects the larger wooded area which looks to me around 700 to...

    Save the Pole Bridge Forest

    Assuming your calculations about acreage is correct, and there are 130 acres in the planned development and PPA number of 700 is totally off. I don't know that you are correct but let's say you are. The average number of trees in any given forest are 125 per acre (based on quickly averaging...

    Save the Pole Bridge Forest

    I didn't calculate the acreage (you can question Jason or the PPA about that), but there is a road which approximately encircles the development area and I drove that. It is nice forest and whether it is 130 acres or 700 acres it is worth saving as woods, instead of hardtop and housing. You...

    Save the Pole Bridge Forest

    I am not a member of the PPA. Jason asked me to take some pictures of the development area. If you look on the Pine Barrens Facebook page there is a map link somewhere on the initial post. I used that map to figure out where to take the photos. I am on board with anything that protects the...

    Save the Pole Bridge Forest

    If you click on the link the mission statement makes clear the Pole Bridge Forest is not protected land. The purpose of petition is to advocate for the 700 acres to be protected, and not to be developed. Advocacy is not propaganda. Brendan Byrne advocated for The Pinelands Protection Act. Was...

    Fawn on the lawn

    Yesterday morning, I heard the very loud bleating of what sounded like a fawn at the front of my house. I ignored it but the bleating continued and got louder. I opened the front door and saw a red fox on my front walk. He saw me and trotted away, and I walked toward him, with my phone, trying...

    People seem to like the Bog Moon shot with mist but I prefer the moon over cedars shot too Wick.

    All-Terrain Vehicle Problem

    You know, my first comment was inaccurate. One of the first images I posted was an otter, taken in the Muskee Creek. You questioned whether the shot was from the Pine Barrens, implying the background was rock, and not slick mud. I realized then that you and a lot of the people that post are...

    All-Terrain Vehicle Problem

    Call people a liar is okay Bob? You leave that on the thread. Telling me that the forest is in your blood but not mine is okay? If passive aggressive horseshit is your idea of actual dialogue, then you have options available to you. If you don't like my language then censor me or ban me. Then...

    All-Terrain Vehicle Problem

    4 kids were riding two different types of illegal bikes, two on each bike. I heard them flying down my neighbors driveway, then down my street. I thought they were my neighbors kids, walked to his house, and he was clearly upset. He said the kids on the bikes lived behind him and tore through...
