Another Success Story

Kudos to DOD & NJ Conservation for their efforts! Pinelands preservation is not a conservative or liberal issue, but one of mutual benefit across a broad suite of interests (e.g., farming, hunting, T&E habitat protection, historical preservation, academic studies).

Here is that piece of property. It is an interesting tract.

And the survey of it.

I wonder if it will be available for hiking, etc.?

 

[Teegate]

It will I am sure. The state Green Acres contributed money. They always help out ensuring they have a say in what goes on. Just like with the Parker Preserve.

I asked Emile DeVito today and he said it is open to the public. I'm not really familiar with the area but he said that right past the pond there is a parking area.

Both links are gone. Did anyone save a copy of the article?

 

[Teegate]

I may have it Bob. I looked quickly but can't find it but I still may have it. I have to get to bed. I will look tomorrow.
