The training forest fire fighters receive addresses this in depth. Escaping the path of an oncoming fire in a reliable vehicle and on a passable road is a good tactic but outrunning one on foot is a not if the fire is too close. A wet area is an obvious advantage over dry uplands but the number...

Even if the resources were available to better protect and preserve our historic sites, there would be some serious questions to deal with. I think most would agree that the mansions at Atsion or Batsto should be restored and maintained in at least the last good condition they existed in, if not...

I was thinking the same thing Ben. There are countless old buildings in the same condition scattered around the countryside. Should they all be razed in the name of liability? Put up signage or a fence if it is on public property and is considered that big of a problem, but let it die a death...

There are similar disturbances that can be seen on the 1930 aerial just west of the current location of Freedom Fields County Park, on Rt. 539.

You will be able to identify the kids who have been jumping off of it by the poison ivy rashes on their feet!:(

You make a point I’ve been making for years. Corn Snake, Pine Snake, or Humpback Whale are all terms that do not exist in the “natural” world. The same is true for terms such as genus, species or family. These are all creations of man in an attempt to create order in a disorderly world. It is...

We owe quite a bit to Pete. Besides being the driving force behind the osprey rebound, he was directly responsible for brokering the partial land donation from the owners of the fish factory that provided the match the state needed to get the federal funds to aquire the Great Bay Blvd. tract.

Don't forget the front basket! You never know when a vacant paper route will turn up. :D
