Public Hearing....

[46er]

Headed to Helene's for lunch and saw this sign posted on rt 610, Near the area the Tee found an old car. Looks like it was just put up.

 

[Teegate]

Thanks. Can you narrow this location down because I am uncertain where you mean?

I went to the website and did not see that one listed but there are others where this is happening also but they are already over with. Manumuskin, look this site over.

I think they put that sign up prematurely. There is nothing on it at either site as far as I can see.

I could not find a listing at either site either. The sign is brand new, no weathering at all.

Here is the approx location, can't miss it on the northbound(south) side of 610(532).

The 610 was confusing me. Now I know where you mean. That was a 1963 Ford.

It would be interesting to know who they are transferring it to. I would assume nothing could be built there such as a park. I wonder if the property survey would be available?

From similar old listings on the state site, it appears the land is transferred from the Conservancy to the state. Perhaps to be part of Stafford Forge WMA? Map below.

I'll say the cloth sign is new. We went right by its location yesterday on leaving the Cedear Bridge Tavern re-enactment and it wasn't there then.....

Wasn't there something posted awhile back regarding a proposed baseball training camp near there?

Yep, supposed to be a bb training facility out near 72 and 532. There is a for sale sign on 532 near the intersection.

Article from 2012.

Here is the proposed hearing information. http://www.nature.org/ourinitiatives/regions/northamerica/unitedstates/newjersey/nj-lands-12-20.pdf

On the surface, it looks good. It would be nice to see a map.

A map for the property discussed here is available at the link in my post above.

 

[Teegate]

Here is the property. There may be more added to it but this is where 46er is referring. I had to rush the map so sorry for the quality.

 

[Teegate]

On that property is stone #14 of the Lawrence Line. I will check into this to see if the state is planning on doing anything with the piece. It will be Green Acres so I suspect nothing is going to happen but you never know.

 

[Pinesbucks]

In looking at the link that is not the only parcel that is going to be transferred. There is also ground in the Oswego area that is going to be transferred if this goes through as well.

Thanks for the map Guy. I had heard about this transfer but did not know the extent of the tract.

It's nice to see these many smaller pieces of land such as this one and various land trust properties being acquired and protected. Every acre helps. I'm sometimes alarmed that schools seem to be cranking out a new generation of environmentalists who are more obsessed with teaching kids how to make crafts from used toilet paper tubes and plastic newspaper sleeves than with actually saving parts of the environment from destruction.

 

[Teegate]

I will make more detailed maps of all of the locations when I get a minute.

Here is the Woodland Township transfer. The NC is giving the state much of land just north of the ever popular Nature Conservancy house.

And they are also transferring all of the other property in this preserve so the lake there will now be owned by the state.

There is a nice underground stone on this property.
