Call or report them to the Atsion Office. I did and they called the park police. Or call the Batsto office 609-567-0024

The big problem is that almost all places where people want to mud are wet and by regulatory definition, are wetlands and are subject to State/Fed wetlands regulations.

The problem is that no one wants to deal with the insurance issue with this dangerous kind of activity. A town near me wanted to make an atv track with its old sand quarry, until the Joint Insurance Fund they belong to told them that this activity is one they would not consider and that they...

Enforce NJ laws. Obey NJ laws. DEP Commissioner Brad Campbell cracked down on this in 2002 and it was effective Is that useful enough for you?

They where all mostly dry on 8.18.10. I walked the whole area

And most vernal pools should be dry at this time of year

I worked on the herp atlas and have been doing vernal pool surveys for 4 years. The clay lens here is 3-5 inches thick and is gone. I've seen a few other pools where this activity has caused them to drain so fast they are useless for herps.

Vernal Pools and Their Importance And why whats happening at the scar is bad Below is a photograph the the eroded wetlands along the side of the scar, near the bon fire site. Look carefully and your can see a thin layer or lens of clay, which acted sort of like a pool liner and allowed the...

The first thing they need to do is cancel the Oct Jeep Jamboree in Wharton. This so called "tread lightly" crowd does no such thing. There are many You Tube videos of them at the Scar.

In 30 years I have seen more rattle snakes than pine snakes

You don't know if they are people you can reason with. Or is the situation deliverance meets lord of the flies. I have seen people do terrible things to other people back there.

No, Pine Snake are one of the most uncommon snakes and a NJ endangered species

Oh and lovely photos Guy. Thanks for making the effort to post them.

If there is any question about the legality of whats going on back there. Check out the State/Federal wetlands regs. http://www.state.nj.us/dep/landuse/7-7a.pdf One of the litany of laws being broken. N.J.A.C. 7:7A-2.1(a), 2.2(a) and (b), 2.5(f), 2.6(a) Conducting regulated or prohibited...

The 2 plants, Camby's lobelia and Pine Barrens Smoke Grass mentioned in the NJN segment are quite rare. The latter is a GLOBALLY IMPERILED species and the 1/4 mile area is one of its GLOBAL strong holds. Another thing that I noticed back there that is that the clay lenses/layers that allowed...
