No doubt we all feel the issues surrounding our lives. We all need more time in the Pines. I will be in the East Plains around my mini preserve on Sat-Sun. If anyone wants to meet and hike the plains area, eat some lunch-dinner, talk about life, take some photos, etc! We may even get to...

Pre digital species !

Interesting how this looks like it was under sunlight. Actually 8 minutes in the moonlight this past weekend, finally no fog and cool enough for a long exposure. Mike

Thanks! I'll try the Batsto to the Forks. We appreciate all your ideas. Mike

Anyone have any suggestion for a short simple easy to return vehicle canoe trip? Perhaps something that allow an hour or so and a few miles of hiking back to vehicle to then pick up the canoe. Thanks, Mike

There is so much occurring in the pines at so many levels I am continuously fascinated. It is like I am in the garden of eden, paradise or heaven. When a height is added to my observations. Basically on top of a tall ladder. There are views and sights which appear. I think the road I have...

I know a large 30 + foot truck was dumping old furniture near Dover road many years ago. Someone Photographed it, and followed the truck while calling 911. Truck was pulled over, police made them go back an clean it, then impounded the truck and company lost the truck due to fines etc, etc.

Bottom line is there are enough laws that we are all committing some crime each day. Fine's are another method taxes ! Speaking of fines. Watch yourself driving in Pemberton Boro. I have never seen so many people ticketed for having items on their dashboard suposedly blocking their view...

I was able to watch the changes in these vernal ponds from May - late August. The majority of inhabitants were Fowlers toads, tree frogs. Amazing to have seen the egg sacs that were left behind, and thousands of tadpoles that developed. The ponds went through many changes, drying out...

From http://www.physorg.com/news141910175.html (I attached an image of a Fowlers toad sitting on thumbnail. The size makes me realize how delicate the environment is. I thought there insects scattering about and it was tiny 1/4 inch or so toads, etc running for cover.) Common insecticide...

Seems camping in any unauthorized area in state park is prohibited. Here is a list of fines. Seems $71. is the amount of all fines. I guess you can get multiples of similar issues. See >>>> http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/mcs/svbs_4-1-2000/statepark.pdf Not sure about Wildlife...

Is anyone on the list a licensed NJ surveyor? Or perhaps know of someone who is and is sensitive to the Pine Barrens environment? You can send me a private message if you would like. Area to be surveyed is in Egg Harbor Twnsp. Thanks, Mike

Interesting how much attention is being given to the Crowberry in this one area. Perhaps there is more to it then just protection of something endangered. Maybe some newer pharmaceutical use has been discovered for it? Or maybe, NJ is gonna build a solar farm in the east plains ?

Here is info and a link to contact person for this project. I have called and emailed my questions ! Perhaps others could as well. We should at least be aware of what is planned? Robert J. Cartica Administrator Tele: 609-984-1339 Fax: 609-984-1427 Emal...

Return call from Trenton Forest Fire service. Indicates all of the work being done around the range is to part of the plan by NJ Natural Lands to protect the Broom Crowberry from fire. I am now seeking copy of this plan.
