    The MAP is back

    My last act will be to give you a thumbs up Scroggy. But the PBX is a clique. It is not hard to be a moderator if you have an open mind. Guy and Bob generate the majority of the posts, and they should, since they have a vast storehouse of Pine Barrens knowledge. Bat apparently they (and Ben)...

    The MAP is back

    With all due respect, I've had enough of the passive aggressive horseshit on this forum. Controlled by regressive PBXers who "like" posts by morons. I don't belong here. I have a different world view than the rest of you. Civil debate and discussion is laughable. The only PBXer's who I truly...

    The MAP is back

    Define abusive. If Ben uses the "F" word is that abusive? Is Tony uses the term "fake news", effectively calling someone a liar, and that post is liked by both moderators, is that abusive? This forum is not only controlled by moderators, but they obviously encourage a regressive mindset, and...

    The MAP is back

    First, I would like to say that "Tony, you are a complete "F***ing" idiot. Shove your "fake news" up your a$$". Re: a beautiful spot in the Pinelands. One day, this past October, I was warned by a person I know that a group was stealth camping. I continued on and they eyeballed me, obviously...

    Thanks Al. I never remember the mornings I stay in bed, but I always remember mornings in the forest.

    Wood Ducks in love and other stories

    A broken elbow (finally healed) has caused me to sit and review the past 11 months of photos, and I found these shots.

    Save the Pole Bridge Forest

    Banning books, banning black curriculum, denial of the settled science of climate change, gutting the voting rights act of 1965 and the refusal to accept a legal and fair national election result in 2020. Noam Chomsky's term and I think it is a perfect description. And gun violence is now the...

    Save the Pole Bridge Forest

    New Jersey is a tiny state. Wharton State Forest is a relatively small forest at 123,00 acres. There are state forests 140 times that size. My interest in preserving 19,000 trees in 152 acres and a fairly contiguous 700 acres (which seems accurate) is climate change. Trees remove carbon dioxide...

    Save the Pole Bridge Forest

    I removed the area at the top and still have 154 acres, not 130. The issue is the much larger bisected forest, which will be destroyed by the new development. I hope people viewing this will look into the issue and decide for themselves. I am speaking for myself. I do not belong to to the...

    Save the Pole Bridge Forest

    I did some calculations using Google maps and an area "feet to acres" calculator. First, your acre calculation is innacurate. The development area is 180 acres, not 130 acres as you stated. Second, the development area completely bisects the larger wooded area which looks to me around 700 to...

    Save the Pole Bridge Forest

    Assuming your calculations about acreage is correct, and there are 130 acres in the planned development and PPA number of 700 is totally off. I don't know that you are correct but let's say you are. The average number of trees in any given forest are 125 per acre (based on quickly averaging...

    Save the Pole Bridge Forest

    I didn't calculate the acreage (you can question Jason or the PPA about that), but there is a road which approximately encircles the development area and I drove that. It is nice forest and whether it is 130 acres or 700 acres it is worth saving as woods, instead of hardtop and housing. You...

    Save the Pole Bridge Forest

    I am not a member of the PPA. Jason asked me to take some pictures of the development area. If you look on the Pine Barrens Facebook page there is a map link somewhere on the initial post. I used that map to figure out where to take the photos. I am on board with anything that protects the...

    Save the Pole Bridge Forest

    If you click on the link the mission statement makes clear the Pole Bridge Forest is not protected land. The purpose of petition is to advocate for the 700 acres to be protected, and not to be developed. Advocacy is not propaganda. Brendan Byrne advocated for The Pinelands Protection Act. Was...

    Fawn on the lawn

    Yesterday morning, I heard the very loud bleating of what sounded like a fawn at the front of my house. I ignored it but the bleating continued and got louder. I opened the front door and saw a red fox on my front walk. He saw me and trotted away, and I walked toward him, with my phone, trying...
