This is a $600,000+ project, to help determine if a fee for use of the WMAs will be implemented. http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/...cle_06fd1144-f5f1-11e5-83cd-8379d6539de6.html

I see it somewhat different. They have professional activists that have much more time to lobby, get press exposure, etc to drive their agenda. While those that want to keep the forest open are not activists, we would rather be hiking, kayaking, hunting, horseback riding, or simply diving...

My take: The PPA and company have/will continue to distort the truth in some cases and outright lie in others in get to their end goal. They have no intention of compromise or working with anyone to protect the forest that doesn't share their extremist views. They already have the ear of at...

Oh boy. Another piece from Mr. Howell, highlighting the familiar Jemima mount, evil Jeeps, etc. The pine snake even gets more press. Now they are looking to "establish a culture-wide land ethic" to protect the pines from damage which "In some areas... is akin to industrial mining in scope and...

Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but all we were presented with was an opinion piece and a few pictures. While Mr Zappaltori is cleary in the picture, it's not clear what role, if any, he played in the piece of propaganda, other then maybe having his picture used to try to give the...

I don't think anyone is suggesting the PPA/NJCF actually killed the snake. The only fact that is known is they found a dead snake. Where it died, what killed it, when it was run over, what ran over it (before/after death), etc. is unknown. Heck, how often does one see a dead snake on the side...

Unbelievable. These guys are relentless

This is great! Thanks

Wanna bet where it would go (or, in this case: wouldn't go)?

Regarding the continued use of E. Stokes Rd, lets be honest, while the signage might be enough for the park police to get a fine to stick, I don't think it's adequate if the intention is to truly notify a person just out exploring the roads that the area is closed. There are a lot of signs...

There is no way the DEP would implement a policy that would discourage people from accessing public lands :siren:

Buried at the end of the article, but the research team "will evaluate if there is a willingness of the public to pay for usage of the areas". Wonder what this means for the hunters that already paid for the WMAs...

The cynical side of me says you are probably right, but I'm not going to give up - it worked with the initial MAP. If our voices remain loud it might work again.

I would hope, after seeing the public's reaction to the MAP, the DEP would be transparent as to their reasoning for closing areas as well as their future plans for each area closed (repair/reopen/permanent closure). If they are not, I think we, the public, have the responsibility to work with...

Perhaps that would be the case if one was to believe the MAP was the end game for the PPA, but they have been quoted in recent articles stating that they saw the MAP as a starting point. They would still be pushing for more even if the MAP was in place.

Shocking!!! The bottom line is the ppa wants to limit access to the greatest extent possible. Just look at Jaclyn Rhoads quote in the article where she says the ppa sees trail closures (the original MAP) as a starting point.

Would be curious to hear how the PPA & company react to the enforcement plan as it may actually work, unlike the MAP.

Thanks for the update

Anyone have any info on what transpired at the meeting?
