No, the white tail deer was almost hunted to extinction in NJ by the late 1800's. The deer population in NJ is now larger than it has ever been.

Zim and Emile have stated many times that if you want to regenerate cedar, you need to put up a deer fences, that's their opinions, not mine. That's why NJCF and DIV of Forestry and other entities, through out the state have spent many 10's of thousands of dollars on deer fences. I see first...

Oh, just ask Ed Cuneo and get back to us.

So I will ask you again, what's in it for you and why 1/4 mile run? I'm eagerly waiting for your response Because it is one the most ecological significant areas in the Pine Barrens because of the still existing vernal pools and the globally rare plants that are still there. It is a Natural...

Today I spent 5 hours doing stream assessments on an upper tributary of BTC and walked through 2 decent sized cedar stands, lots of big trees, lots of deer tracks, not one small cedar.

Ask Dr DeVito or Dr. Zimmermann Div or Forestry deer fence

NJCF had to fence the 40,000 cedar seedlings we planted at the Parker Pres last year. I also helped erect and monitor another 14 acres deer fence for them in South Jersey. The plants inside the fence do much much better. The NJ dept of forestry has many deer fenced properties on state lands...

Enforce existing laws and embarrass the powers that be, to do just that. Which is happening as we type. Like they did it before like they did it at hidden lakes, MRT quarry and the former Chatsworth Park area.

The pines are full of white tail deer. Go into any cedar swamp and try to find a young cedar. The only young cedars that survive are in the cedar swamps that have deer enclosures.

The damage is ongoing at a weekly basis

That road the Dodge is stuck in is the stream channel and the 1930 map shows no road at that location. Neither do my USGS quads, they show a stream channel. Make an I Map, 1930 with the stream layer.

I highly doubt the FF Service drove a bulldozer down the stream channel, it would have gotten stuck like the Dodge. I think the trail they made was around on edge. And the bul dozer didn't create a road 150 feet wide or drive through and destroy he vernal ponds. And if they did drive through...

Was a road created in the bed of an intermittent stream that you can see on the USGS quads

Perhaps she was on a trip to find the Pine Barrens smoke grass

But this wasn't a road, it was a wetlands/intermittent stream/vernal pool that was ground into a road during dry weather. If you were back there this spring the whole place would be flooded.

Forum?

A beautiful, white Canby's lobelia found in wetlands near Beaver Pond on a recent botany outing.

A picture is worth a thousand words. And I need no further words

Thanks for posting photos. When these is no one there it is a great birding site. One trip we had a Cooper's hanging around and calling at us for 20 minutes, lots of towhees, C chickadees and heard a few PB warblers. If you have a good grass field guide its a great place to brush up on...
