    Consuming pine pollen

    Yes I have noticed it. It seems it's at its worst right after a good rain too.

    Consuming pine pollen

    It happens here every years here. When the pines let the pollen go it usually lasts about a week. We usually close up the house to keep it out. This year is worse then normal because we have had no rain to wash it away.

    Forest Fire at Atsion

    I love seeing how fast they recover. The pines recover very fast from fire. I used to keep an eye on tracts that we would control burn in the winter and see how it looked through the summer. It was always greener then the other side that wasn't

    Forest Fire at Atsion

    The fire did burn past the stone bridge on Quaker Bridge Rd. I drove down and everything was burnt right after the bridge to the next rd which connects to stokes rd and followed that back to Hampton Rd. I didn't think it went down that far at first.

    What is this sound? Frog? Bird?

    I have them all over here. When my windows are open here I can't even hear the tv between them and the spring peepers. But I would want it any other way

    What is this sound? Frog? Bird?

    Sounds like a gray tree frog to me.

    Forest Fire at Atsion

    90% of all our fires in NJ started by humans, whether by accident or intentional. I hope this is accidental.

    Definition of a Piney

    I'm just looking for everyone's opinion on what they think is a "piney". I've seen on other posts mention of the definition of a piney from where you were born to what you call home. Growing up I was taught that being called one was derogatory. Today I have friends and coworkers from more urban...

    An Interesting Pines Post From an Unlikely Website

    A friend sent me that last night. I thought it was an interesting add campaign and what other regions he went to. Now I know

    Prescribed burns

    JD, I wasn't attacking you personally. The notion that anything can be done to the pines and it will grow back just gets to me whether it's someone from the FFS or not. New roads not only make easier access to remote locations for the FFS but everyone else as well. We have seen this happen in...

    Prescribed burns

    JD, Please explain to me why you feel I can't be a member of the FFS and care about the environment. Is that not possible? As I have said before I have been active in the FFS from the early 90's to about 6 years ago and have been deployed out west as a member of the FFS many times over that...

    Prescribed burns

    The idea that we can do anything to these woods and they will bounce back is what I have a problem with. I agree prescribed burns and breaks are needed to maintain a healthy forest. But to say that it will grow back better and the brush piles promote homes for all kinds of critters is like...

    Requesting Help Re: Amphibians

    In the retention pond behind my house the last few weeks all I could hear was chorus frogs until last night I heard the first spring peepers. Then I usually get the gray tree frogs and pine barrens tree frogs closer to May.

    Prescribed burns

    I can point out roads that were made 20 years ago that are still very much here today.

    Prescribed burns

    I m not familiar with the area but just looking at the map it looks to me like they are trying to put a break to stop a fire from going into the cedar swamp. Not sure why it needs to be a road but if you contact the section warden he should be able to give you a better explanation. Did they do a...
