Nice Ron. How did you know?

It's funny. I grew up in the pine barrens mostly. Now I have a hard time "seeing" a different pine other than pitch or white pine. I was with Dave Snyder, the chief botanist for the state, and he pointed out a loblolly that I simply walked by on a trail a few weeks ago. Two weeks later I found a...

Where is this? It is in a state pinelands management area.

Yes, and one other important thing, which I put in my application for a permit from Cape May Wildlife Refuge. Since it's a fly way, seeds are carried by birds, so it's in the vanguard for species moving north. I also told them I'll be looking for rare species on their property.

Is that the old place at the Fries Mill ruins west of the Manumuskin River?

I'm so sorry you have to work this week.

Thanks Scott, I checked out your links. All interesting stuff. Yeah, I was near Green Creek and Delsea Creek. This survey will take years to do. Long ride, but worth it.

Lot of old homestead signs in Cape May County. This one surprised me with the unusual conch-like or whelk-like shells. I see clam shells dumped all the time, but never saw this. This was likely pre-1950. Do you think it was more common to eat them at that time? Maybe a restaurant dump?

Barnegat had heavy downpours around 5:30 or so this afternoon. I think it was unexpected.

I'm doing plant surveys in Middle Township, Cape May County. I drove a dirt road leading from Pennsylvania Avenue and was suprised to see over 30 piles of trash dumped on the side of the road. This is all within 1/2 mile of a paved road. I've been helping the Forked River Mountain Coalition...

What do you think, Google's fault? https://wapo.st/3t5KXfw

I don't know if her farm is one, but those farms who get in bed with the state and conservation non-profits by taking money from them in a promise to remain a working farm, should not then be allowed to grow things in buildings. Open space shoud be open, for the visual aspect. That's what it's...

The graffitti people are likely in their late 20's to early 30's now. I hope they see these pristine pictures and feel devastatingly miserable about what simple-minded idiots they were back then.

Seems like NOAA finally fixed their map.

Yes

That's quite an interesting photo. I've never see that. I'm not really the person to ask, I'm more into the natural world, but perhaps someone will chime in and help.

You can do a search in the upper right. Some of us have been here 20 years, and the information amassed along the way can only be gleaned by electronic searching.

In essence yes, but they can do agriculture (blueberries) if it's suitable and there is no T&E (I think I'm right on the T&E, not positive). Once the seller of the land gets his credits in return for giving up his rights, he can sell them to someone needing them to develop in suitable areas...

Welcome to AI chat: No development would be allowed. Could agriculture be started? Maybe, but there is likely surveys to be done (that may nix it), and I think the uproar would lead to the state paying whatever it takes.
