I’ve never seen the pines and surrounding areas this dry in 20 years. I’ve visited quite a few of my usual spring spots and many ponds are empty and many wetlands already drying up. Last summer was so dry and this winter and spring havent provide much replenishing. If we continue at this pace...
I wouldn’t have a problem with clearing. But it looks like they bulldozed the ground. Simply going in and cutting trees to stumps is ok. Seems like they bulldozed the ground completely.
Articles and opinions like this make me laugh. This sorta of activity only helps the pine barrens. It’s will lead to great amounts of species using the cleared areas since right now much of the barrens is so choked with trees it’s useless. I prefer a massive burn but this also works for me.
Almost no rain out in Shamong, this is looking like another fake rain storm. Weathermen have been really awful this summer, we really need rain bad and a lot.
I could see the Os you typically see on corns snakes. Seen several hundred shed corns over years but also know the spot Guy was at and know they are there. So a bit of piecing it together.
I have no problem buying a permit to have access to the roads. But like most things it won’t be enforced and they don’t have the resources to do so. Like many things in NJ this will never be overly effective.
