    anyone up for camping?

    Hi everyone, I'll be camping in Wharton for the week after mothers day, probably mostly on the lower forge and the mullica. I'd love some company out in the pines! Message me if you are passing through the area.

    Historic Preservation in Wharton State Forest: A Lost Cause?

    Perhaps you have stumbled upon the best insight yet that allows us to today enjoy the remnant forests of the pine barrens. Imagine industry never came to use the resources of the bog iron or sand for glass, people lacking the exposure of the forests would seem them truly barren and useless and...

    Historic Preservation in Wharton State Forest: A Lost Cause?

    I think that the historical history of human economics and industrial culture is well represented and is not in danger of becoming extinct, at least not for a very long time. On the other hand the ecology of the New Jersey Pine Barrens is unique, and very fragile. We live in a highly...

    What dangerous animals live in the pines?

    Aha, I see. You know what, it's kind of ironic because birds are often involved in helping the success of plant species. All the seed they eat and often some of these pass through their digestion entact enough to germinate. Not quite as important or as widespread as bees, but birds also...

    Christie vetoes raises for Pinelands staff

    OK, keep in mind this: by saying you doubt it, you are instigating a response from me. Also, you are not the admin, it is not your duty to speak for the administration. I'm pretty sure Ben can handle the situation, as it is his jurisdiction and frankly not yours. I would ask respectfully for...

    Christie vetoes raises for Pinelands staff

    I totally understand what you are laying down. You see, I am an artist, a watercolor painter to be specific google my name if you wish to see or read about my work. But back to the subject, being an artist might make me predisposed to heated emotion, it has been said it is the nature of the...

    Christie vetoes raises for Pinelands staff

    I will say this: we might expect many more of these types of occurances under this political regime.

    Christie vetoes raises for Pinelands staff

    Well, I didn't call anyone on the site any names so I didn't think that would be an issue. This is an all pine barrens forum, my intent is to put the place and it's culture at foremost of concern. I apologize for any infractions of someone's character that I may have assualted. My passion for...

    Christie vetoes raises for Pinelands staff

    I wonder... is this a way to get those employed by the commission anxious enough to leave the post? Developers are ever encroaching on the borders, not to mention the gas line that was proposed but thankfully shot down. Weakening the structure of the commission will make it easier to get...

    What dangerous animals live in the pines?

    Sorry, I did not realize I stated that twice!

    What dangerous animals live in the pines?

    I have to apologize, after doing some more research it seems that both permathin and deet are considered to have about the same level of toxicity to humans. The fda labels both at level 3, which apparently means slightly toxic to humans. I also must remind readers to be careful of mistaking deet...

    What dangerous animals live in the pines?

    Yeah, I have to retract a little on my stance, with a little more research it seems that permathin might be less toxic than deet and it comes from a more natural source. Though the sources I read reminded the reader that less study has been devoted to permathin especially because it is newer...

    What dangerous animals live in the pines?

    Look up cancer caused by permathin, much worse!

    What dangerous animals live in the pines?

    Yeah, but that stuff is deadly toxic to a lot more than ticks and chiggers. I don't know if it is worth it to avoid Lyme's disease only later to develop cancer or pass on damaged genes to any children you might have in the future. Think about it, read the warning label on the permathin, just...

    Old Bridge Pine Barrens?

    I am originally from NYC, and I lived in Manhattan. I can assure you that all 5 boroughs make up what is collectively New York City. Going by the reference of how addresses label often just the borough is really more of an organizational necessity considering the huge number of residents...
