I read McPhee's book about the Pine Barrens years ago. In fact, it's the only book I read about the Pine Barrens. You might check some past posts on this site, Arlene. Different aspects of the Pine Barrens have been discussed, such as suvival shelters along the Batona Trail near Apple Pie Hill...

I just read that in Cape Cod, people are experimenting to control mosquitos by stocking bogs with sunfish. I remember learning when I visited Cattus Island County Park in New Jersey about fish in the park's Mosquito Bay controlling mosquitos there. Channels were made to accomodate the...

Recently, I hiked past Penns Hill and Laurel Hill on the Penns Hill Trail at Wells Mill County Park. I say I went past, rather than to these hills because these hills didn't stand out and offer a vista as I had expected. It was a nice hike, though, as the trail took me up and down hills on my...

Recently I was checking out the information on the home page of this site, and came across a note about the SPRINGERS BROOK TO LOWER FORGE HIKE. This hike was on a document about hikes in the Pine Barrens that I had downloaded quite some time ago, but not until now did I realize that it seems to...

Oh, so someone challenges environmental extremists and you want to abridge free speech. Unlike another webmaster, this one doesn't kick posters off just because they challenge, and satirize, the elitist environmentalist priesthood. Different views and substantive debate are good, as are voices...

The question is what influence would the EPA chief nominee have on cranberry growers in places such as the Pine Barrens? The author of the editorial below thinks he would strike a balance between the economic realities of the growers and protecting the environment (the should go hand-in-hand)...

Here's a progress report on the deal to aquire the DeMarco property to be used as a natural area located in the hole of the donut connecting Wharton, Lebanon and other state lands where the public can enjoy hiking and other passive recreational activities...

No real challenges by environmentalists? One must be trippin' to make that statement. The extremists environmentalists use devious means to get their way -- using the endangered species act as a tailsman to stop projects. These extemists file frivilous lawsuits. They don't win, but tie up the...

The site was done a short while back and,unlike you environmentalist extremists, I work for a living and live in the real world. I don't have to ask where you are, Bob; I know you are always in the La La Land of Denile. Remember Wrongway Peachfuzz, that character on the Rocky and Bullwinkle show...

ECO CLOWNS [parody of the oldies CHARLIE BROWN] Fee Fi Foe Fum Look what comes From the utopians preaching heaven Paid for by others blood It’s those clowns Those eco clowns Let’s bring them down To earth to the mound They’re gonna get caught They and their toadies “Why’s everybody always...

I've already read that article. What a crock of nonsensicial spin! And you wonder why we use the term "Disney Ecologist" and "Environmentalist Whacko?" Let's get down to reality. And use science. This is why the whackos now running Greenpeace call Patrick Moore Dr. Truth. They don't let anything...

Likewise. And I'm looking foward to seeing this site flower.

I'll have to remember to check in with Sir Hiss to get my visitor's pass when I enter a planned snake community when I visit the Pine Barrens.

As the foresters said in the meeting, the potential exists for a monster wildfire in the Pine Barrens, and steps need to be taken to avoid this. BTW, proper management also prevents diseases and pest outbreaks, such as the bark beetle. Good advice, to listen to the experts, rather than let the...

An appropriations bill, under the Land and Water Conservation Fund to buy land in the Pine Barrens is moving through congress. Some folks hope that some of the money could be use to fund the aquisition of the DeMarco deal with the New Jersey Conservation Foundation that's been pending. I think...

A judge dumped the mindless roadless forests rule. This may have even kept fire fighters out of an area to fight a fire! The let-it-burn advocates would have loved that. But, alas, those not under the influence of the Tree Hugging cult have prevailed. Like Mothers Against Drunk Driving, there's...

I think private forester Bob Williams and state forester James Barresi were right on target. Williams pointed out that in the absence of the low intensity fires that burned before humans settled in the area, you can't just let nature take its course and practice a let-it-burn policy. Land...
