Excellent idea. But would the State keep the $ in Wharton

They did it in the mid 80"s too.

The 150,000 member New Jersey State Federation of Sportsmen is well aware of this issue and wants this problem resolved.

The horse riders have state approved endurance events in Wharton all the time and have not caused any problems. Hikers and horses do not grind wetlands into mud.

The horses and hikes have not damages many acres in a Natural Heritage Priority site filled with rare plants and animals. There is no comparison of the damage between the two, they haven't destroyed vernal pools or grounds acres of wetlands vegetation into mud Your comparing Apples to Clydesdales

Its interesting that the DIV of Fish and Game is much more effective in blocking roads and their conservation officers more aggressive in dealing with these issues in the State Wildlife Management Areas. I am familiar with many of them and know they arrest and issue citations all of the time.

? So the vegetation getting run over along the road wasn't virgin? Why do you think the road at 1/4 mile are 100 feet wide? http://rides.webshots.com/video/3046046050043780184vsaMHI http://rides.webshots.com/video/3024295700043780184bmojIs Show stuck jeep spinning its tire and making holes...

But the videos look to be from 1/4 mile road at the scar. These are not approved established roads, they are illegal roads created in the stream bed of a NJDEP designated wetlands in an area designated by New Jersey Natural Heritage program as a Prioroty Site because of the rare plants and...

I am merely responding to your numerous excuses of wonton illegal activity "small truck making holes in the roads", illegal driving in wetlands "Which todays youth would not know about" Ignorance of the law doesn't cut it. when in fact most pof these [poeple know what they are doing and that...

Alot of the damage is done by small stock vehciles going into puddles in 2 wheel drive getting stuck Small stock vehicles don't make 3 foot holes.

Only if you want to pretend your ignorant and justify the damage you are causing. and if there is a ? don't drive there, wet is wet, these are not roads they are destroyed intermittent streams. WE need to clearly teach about and post these sites.

But they are obviously wetlands where you shouldn't drive, when the water is 1-2 feet deep over the entire area. Nor should you drive into the vegetation, which happens on a weekly if not daily basis at the scar. NJDEP/Fed wetlands regs are wetlands regs. No one else gets way with it because...

Dave I have seen numerous times, people with large four wheel trucks drive, into puddles, put it in 2 wheel drive, dig a giant hole than put it in 4 wheel and pull out. Making the road impassible

That was the access/maintenance road for the RR tracks. The rest were created from dry/intermittent streams. There are tons of area GIS maps but no one has produced a shape layer of 4 wheel road and non 4 wheel roads

Rob is working on a map. If you look on the 1977 USGS quad there was never a road there. There were intermittent streams that have been turned into roads. Photos from NJDEP IMap 1930 Aerial, notice all the vernal pools, round dark spots, that are now gone, the stream are in blue The...

Enforce existing laws and regs

If the Jeep Jamboree folks followed their permit and stuck to authorized trails/roads no one would have a problem with them. The many You Tube videos of past Jamborees in the Pinelands, of them driving in the wetlands at the scar shows otherwise. If anyone with a beach buggy permit broke the...

The public pressure has just begun. Political pressure will follow Things will soon get interesting There are at least two large state organizations that are aware of this and want it to stop, and have many members who will write to the Gov.

The Gov. or Commissioner Martin can resolve the enforcement issue with a phone call.

Commissioner Campbell did it in 2002. The state police were checking people coming out of Batsto, Hampton Rd and Q Bridge road
