    A New Centralia in SNJ?

    That is very insteresting to me. They called it "the stuff" :). If it's in an advanced stage far on its way to being anthracite, did it surpass bituminous already, which takes 100 to 300 millions of years to form? From a government site: "Lignite is crumbly and has high moisture content, which...

    Massachusetts Mosquitos

    Hope I spelled the state and insect right. Anyway, this sounds serious. I wonder why NJ has not had a problem like this. This can be read by anyone. https://wapo.st/3XgA6vU

    Cape May County Explorations

    As soon as I saw this tree on a slope to a swamp, I knew identifying it would either be impossible or readily determined. The leaves are all crowded towards tthe branch ends. Now, 4 days later, I give up. I think it's a hybrid oak; possibly Q. falcata and Q. phellos, both common down there.

    Spring/Summer Flora

    Yes, Limonium carolinianum is what's in the photo. When I saw them last week in the saltmarsh, I thought they were Symphyotrichum tenuifolium, the saltmarsh aster. However, I could not understand why they were blue, but I just wrote it off to my weakening memory or the fact that some species can...

    Spring/Summer Flora

    No, it's not that Gibby. Wait, you may be right. I should have keyed it out, but I made a visual assumption (big no-no). Let me get back to you on that. Gibby, you are right. You've done me quite a favor. I assumed it was another plant I already have in my collection.

    Evidence of Wild Pigs in The NJ Pine Barrens

    It's the mindset. I did an small, targeted survey behind Ocean Acres on Monday, and it was clear to me most of the people living there could not give a rats ass about the environment. This pile of junk with the houses in the background is typical. Nobody has lifted a finger in that neighborhood...

    In the same area, Lacey's John Parker has passed away. He was mayor three times, and likely knew Tom Brown.
