How deep down do they cut these breaks, a foot into the ground?

As I said on a previous post it's awesome the Haines family is doing this. I have my doubts as well because of all the coyotes out there. If nothing else the forest thinning and management is a improvement.

From the start I haven't thought this pipeline issue was a big deal in anyway. The impact isn't that great. This isn't like they are going to start doing natural gas drilling in the pines, its just to run a very minor line so people down the shore can live normal lives. The result of the lack...

Water becomes less acidic according to the link I posted.

One in background is the 'new' leopard frog.

It's a curious venture for sure. Would love more details before giving an opinion.

Its an odd season since they are hibernating then. I don't know how they harvest them and not sure I want to know. I'm glad they closed this season, the terrapin an awesome turtle and deserves to flourish. Knowing they are being exported to Asia is something that shouldn't be supported at all.

Boyd was this the spot that use to have the metal as a fence around a crappy trailer? Maybe they are just cleaning up all the trash and nonsense they had on the property.

Gotta tip my cap to Ben w for taking care of that eagle, he is braver then me. Regarding interfering I have no problem with it in this scenario. Also we have wrecked our landscape and environment that we have a responsibility to take care of it and also intervene were obvious help is needed...

Regarding this part of the article, "Residents freely hunted on the 9,400 acres of the Pinelands before the land was bought in 2003 by the New Jersey Conservation Foundation, a nonprofit that preserves land and natural resources. They fished and swam in reservoirs, and rode motorcycles and...

This is all noise from the mayor who probably has some personal beef. NJCF has done a lot with the land, you would struggle to find a better steward of their land then them. They are also a group willing to work with anyone who has issues or has ideas, from my personal experience. People are...

They really whiffed on this one, at least where I live.

I can't speak for sure, but I think this is being done because they are exploring how sustainable the practice is. I don't think its an attempt to gain more revenue. I know a biologist who may be leading this and it is indeed an attempt at sound science followed by decisions. Asian countries...

Other than trapping and roadkills they have zero predators. They rely on a long life (nobody knows how long they can live) to produce enough to carry on the population. They are slow to sexual maturity so to me excessive trapping would wreck a population. Unfortunately they have only just...

Al, don't pay any attention to me either. This is just some slight dragon rage built up, ha.

Its still a hangover from the financial crisis. People are still hurting financially in the area. The wealth affect of the rising stock market over the last 2 years has provided people the feeling of some more wealth but much of it is non liquid and simply a number on a statement. The...

Economy has changed too much for Atlantic City to exist going forward. The casinos are fueled by retired folk pissing their social security and pensions away. Pensions and some day social security won't exist, because stock market growth isn't sufficient to justify offering them and SS is a...

I certainly don't want to dismiss the efforts of LE either. They do their best but are limited by lack of funds and proper support. But the barrens is a big place with lots of areas to watch, this community here does a damn good job of keeping watch. I sorta like the vigilante aspect though...
