    A hike at the Parker Preserve

    As some may know I volunteer out on the Parker Preserve doing work with reptiles and amphibians and help police the land for illegal wildlife collection. I have a lot of confidence in the two folks I know well out there. With that said I haven't gone out to that stretch of land since they...

    Pet turtles require more space than you may think

    Wow, this one from the archives....wish I was still 25 hah. As for painteds that was my understanding based on what I read, but quite honestly I could be wrong. I'm sure fish and wildlife website would have more info. Personally I see no reason to remove any animal from the wild whether...

    Philadelphia Dreamin

    SJ magazine is the worst. It should just be called Voorhees, Haddonfield, Cherry Hill and Marlton Magazine. When looking through it I often have to read the front cover over and over to remind myself that this is SJ. Reading the magazine reminds me of why we went into complete economic...

    Childhood shift: Most kids have stopped playing outdoors

    My friends and I always talk about this. Everyday after school I couldn't wait to get outside and do something, whether it was sports, playing in the woods it was just the normal thing for boys to do. I drive by fields that I use to play football in after school and there is never kids there...

    rumors ?

    Northeast I meant from High crossing. Guy, yes that is the cement foundation of the old gun club I thought, or so I was told. Thought maybe that is what MarkBNJ was referring to in regards to a cement pad.

    rumors ?

    Pinecrest would be southeast of high crossing. The cement foundation there, which is quite unspectacular is the defunct Waretown Gun Club to my knowledge. Maybe he is confusing that foundation as a remenant of Harris Station?

    restricted areas ?

    Apologies for getting you going vollie. Stock trading is going great, giving me plenty of money to blow on 3.50 cent gas to the go enjoy the pines, and donate to conservation organizations. I had to do some fieldwork in the plains this spring and summer and it was the first time I've ever...

    restricted areas ?

    How true Al. Oh wait I forgot burning doesn't create the pines, oh wait the air guard is destroying our precious wildlands........what a dope, what happened to that guy, forestry service tell him to shut his mouth and stop speaking for them, I'm sure they appreciate him as their spokesperson.

    Attention NJ Forest Fire Service

    Yo Vollie you get a piece before you wrote this man you weren't pretty bent out of shape before this post. One question I don't like seeing burnt forest either but I thought the burning is neccesary in order for it to remain the pine barrens in the future? I've been told by a well known...

    Attention NJ Forest Fire Service

    Oh I do have an idea, again don't make assumptions or accusations without knowing your audience. I actually know many people and volunteer for the people on these types of agenceis. I have two permits to study pine barrens species corn snakes and timber rattlesnakes and areas are very often...

    Attention NJ Forest Fire Service

    Well said Guy! In regards to homes in Barnegat being burnt that is a risk of living in the barrens. Its the same as earthquakes in California/Japan, hurricanes in Florida, floods along rivers. Again your posts contradict each other. You say that the people have learned through first hand...

    Bear population spreads across NJ

    I've never really seen any signs of bears in the barrens and I've been through some desolate areas tracking rattlesnakes. I tend to think the ones that have been seen are just passing through. With all the blueberries you would think if bears were here that we would be hearing about it much more.

    Attention NJ Forest Fire Service

    Couple questions.....maybe you can help clarify I've just started going the the pine barrens last year after participating on this site and I'm confused, it was my understanding based on my reading that the pine barrens relies on fire to sustain itself and without fire it would become a...

    Closed to Mortorized Vehicles

    After reading gipsie response I commend the group for taking action and helping to protect a very very sensitive area. I study two speices back there both endangered and am happy they will be a little safer. I also commend the superint. for working with you guys to come up some solution.

    Closed to Mortorized Vehicles

    Those signs will mean nothing to the young/irresponsible folks who tear that area up. I hope it keeps them out but I doubt it. I respect the move and think it was neccesary but I hope it doesn't lead to the destruction of another area around there.....all that land is very sensitive. This...

    Vehicle for traveling sand roads

    Brandon sell that 2wd jeep and buy a 4wd. Cherokee's in 2wd are about the worst thing on the sandy roads. Remember when I gave you and your buddies a lift out of the barrens that one time and had to go about 30 mph nearly killing your friends..hah....that was because my 4wd was busted. It was...
