Guess the location
- Thread starter Teegate
- Start date
I think I am probably wrong, but is that the sign I was telling you about here. http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.92683524930321&lng=-74.47195172309875&z=17&type=nj2007&gpx= I've gone back looking for the sign again and couldn't find it.
On second thought, I don't think that is it. The sign I saw said it was planted somtime in the '60's...I think.

Oooohh! I know!
There is a road (French Coal, I think) that runs parallel between Allen and Dan Bridge Roads in Bass River SF. It goes through a white cedar swamp and is an absolutely gorgeous area.
Is that right?

I would have to say you are correct, but if you can be more specific and send a map link to the location I can be sure.

I agree - I think it's here: http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.63555517097446&lng=-74.44597721099854&z=16&type=h&gpx=
There is also a restored Cedar plantation South East of there IIRC.

I can tell from the pic that they planted those trees waaaaaay too close together(that is,if they were simply trying to restore habitat)..........That's not meant in any way to diminish/criticize what I'd call a very admirable deed but it's basically reminiscent of your omnipresent monocultural tree farms that plague the southeast coastal plain.That habitat is utterly useless to so many members of the native fauna that formerly thrived in the more open forest that it replaced.
That's the general area that I was thinking of Boyd, however I thought it was on the other side of Allens Road between it and French Coal. Looking at the ortho, I am still not 100% sure...
The sign is at the yellow circle. Notice the trees have been cut except the ones near the sign. I guess they wanted to keep them there making the sign still relevant.
