    The public will never grasp the great service that Janet provided to the historic component of Batsto Village and Wharton State Forest. She possessed a wealth of knowledge that connected the Hammonton community in particular, to Batsto's historic past. Humbly and without limelight she provided...

    Opossium

    C'mon jeff.....this is cute.... It came up on our back porch a couple years ago. Judging by the amount of ticks they are proposed to eat, I'll take a dozen or so each season to patrol the property.

    Memorial to Gregory Moore at Batona field

    Leyland cypress...sold in bulk and mass by nurseries because they grow quickly and make great windbreaks and hedges. Cheap too. They are not long lived, especially if planted in the wrong environment. (ie: see photo). I would think that his friends would have found a more suitable tree to...

    Garoutte Tavern in Historic Pleasant Mills, New Jersey

    Hi all, It's been awhile and I wanted to look at some information that I have copies of from old Washington Twp. records. I came by way of this information by making copies of Budd Wilson's parents copying of the Township books. The books have long been gone, found chewed and moth eaten in an...

    Pine Barren Flora

    Missed this rush the other day too...and thought of it here today. The bluestem that I am seeing now appears really, really blue this year, more so than in recent years. Perhaps due to the drought conditions? I wasn't seeing it in your photo, although I know that's not the only factor. I got...

    Pine Barren Flora

    " Our Juncus is Juncus debilis. Your A. virginicus is in fact Schizacrium scoparium (I'm 90% sure), and your P. virgatum is not there. Maybe your looking at the emerging Phragmites (my current guess...the one with my hand in the photo) or the Calamovifa brevipilis? Missed this Juncus the other...

    Pine Barren Flora

    Check out Paulownia..... I'm thinking Paulownia on the 539/Chamberlin. Also on pic #1, but Al may be thinking of Velvet leaf (Abutilon theophrasti) in first pic...I did as well and still not convinced. But I don't believe to be Catalpa. I am leaning to Paulownia on pic #1..... Paulownia shows...

    what are these?

    My apologies...reading the link again I see you mention that you used the program you had at work to replicate the image of the found item, not to make the items. Bees/bugs....we all seemed to come to similar conclusions for their use as a means to attract insects. Again, I thank you for your...

    what are these?

    thanks..... these don't look like they are/were used recently....maybe left behind from a scientific study. No straws in the ends either. Thank you for the info. Guy, did you actually make these at work?.....and now ISS parts? you always amaze me. ;)
