Maneuvers on public land?

Bob, can I take you up on your offer later when I have extra time when work is slower?

Great series Bob! If you don't mind me bothering you for some of your time, could you explain how you do your pressings? I was once again reminded by a one of your fine friends that pressing a specimen is one of those things I should start doing so I can begin keying and understanding what I am...

Jason isn't here for conversation. He is gauging responses.

Who are these pine wanderers that Oji speaks of?

This is the new angle. The PPA is trying to point fingers at the state, blaming them for the problems with offroading. The administration is incompetent and won't increase funding for enforcement is their cry. What is the goal Jason? First it was the offroad groups political influence and now it...

Chile you raised a great point! DragonCJO and I have talked about about how social Timbers are especially gravid females. If you find one female on the move most likely you will find another nearby. There could be recognition of kin and non-kin with this behavior. I can't say for sure all I have...

I haven't spent any time on the other side of that area Bob. I may have to pay that area a visit.

I thought for sure that was it! I have no clue now.

Queen Anne's Lace maybe?

I would like briers to be added to the harmful plants list please.

Bob was your last picture taken here? http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.84787817016542&lng=-74.38353437583925&z=20&type=hybrid&gpx=

The gate just beyond the intersection of Baptist and Bailey was pulled open a few summers ago. It wasn't long before workers fixed it. NJCF will respond if notified if something is wrong on their land. That area isn't a high traffic area from what I have seen from the many days I have spent...

Bob, the light green plant is poison sumac? I noticed is some areas disturbed by dumping that there are plants growing that are much different that what is native to the immediate area. Have you noticed anything different? I'm not speaking of anything specific.

The entire area has some of the healthiest wetlands I have crossed through. It is a nice combination of mixed canopies and rich soils. The state was monitoring the main roads through there because the dumping was getting out of control.

The rotting remains of a dam is starting to come to light in the shallow remains of the mill reservoir. The sluice gate was opened because of the deposit of sediment before the dam causing a change in the channel of Crosswicks Creek. If there is heavy rain possibly more of the structure could be...

Fish and Game use to go undercover in the barrens and central Jersey when they had the extra man power years ago. I came across a few conservation officer friends who would try to remain in "character" when I was interacting with them. I would bust their chops and question why they were acting...

Teegate, I noticed the new motion or pressure sensor lights there and between 72 - Warren Grove.

The stretch of road in the snapshot is here SJ - http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.74982344552699&lng=-74.70352191131593&z=15&type=terrain&gpx=

This morning I saw that the forest service was doing maintenance on E. Stokes Road. South of Hampton Road was being filled and graded. I also saw that the large puddle next to the concrete bridge on Quakerbridge Road was filled in. It is nice to see work being performed.
