Question from a Student

[Teegate]

A student has asked two questions using the contact form for this site. What input can you give on this to better help them out? I will then send them the link to this post.

1) What part of the Pine Barrens are in Pemberton Township?
2)Three main trees that are located around Pakim Pond.

For question number 1 would you say Brendan Byrne? And question two I would say pine, oak, and ???

Question number one would be more accurately posed as: "What part of Pemberton Township is within the limits of the jurisdiction of the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan ?"
To which I would answer:

1. Go to the NJDEP Imap program. http://www.state.nj.us/dep/gis/depsplash.htm
2. Launch the program (button on the upper left).
3. On the right click Find Locations of Interest.
4. Select Burlington County, then Pemberton Township.
5. On the left activate the layer for Pinelands Boundary and then click refresh map top left. The green shading is the limit of Pinelands Commission jurisdiction. You will see that it is most of the Township.
6. Activate Roads on the left and refresh map. At the top, click the zoom in button and then click the image near the boundary. You will get to a zoom level where you will be able to identify the boundary very clearly.
Click pan at the top and you will be able to drag the Township around by its neck like a ragdoll.
Images are attached to show how this should look.

As for question two, I have never been there so I cannot answer.

Cheers !

I can't even think why I would not have thought of that. Duh!

A list of plants found at Pakim Pond. You can have your choice of three from the tree category.

Maybe they mean the different types of Pinelands Management zones. Go to www.pemberton-twp.com and check out their gis map.

K Karl,

Yep. That is a gray birch (Betula populifolia).

Teegate,

Have the student get a copy of the 1973 New Jersey State Museum Research Report #3, The Pine Barrens: Vegetation Geography by McCormick and Jones. There are excellent detailed maps of Pinelands vegetation within.

If I were helping the student I’d also try to find out how specific his answers needed to be, if he even knows. If a tree list by genus alone would suffice, then answers of Pine, Oak and Cedar would be fine (aside from the fact that neither Atlantic white or Eastern red are true cedars) Otherwise it would be as if one was asked the air speed velocity of an unladen sparrow, without specifying if it was an African or European.

I just received this from the student.

I have one more question pretaining to the Pemberton Township portion of my questions, I meant what part of the Pine Barrens as in the Coastal Plain, Peidmont Plateau, Ridge and Valley, etc.

The Pine Barrens are located completley within the outer coastal plain geologic province of New Jersey.
The coastal plain characteristics are essentially what define the pine barrens ecosystem.
