In what Township is the trestle located ?
Waterford and Winslow have their own PD's whereas Shamong, Tabernacle, Woodland, Bass River and Washington all have State Police coverage.

It was the trestle over the Batsto, I think it is Washington, I got a ticket near there years ago and that is where I had to go to court.
If the location is within Wharton, report it to Super Rob Auermueller at Batsto, he'll take it serious. Let him know the reaction you received from the park police.
i'm very happy to hear that you spotted this person. i agree that you should NOT post any photos of her or her vehicle, and it seems like you are taking the best actions to resolve this problem.
it's comforting to know that there are a lot of good people out there helping to protect these pines.
Thanks

I agree that you should not post the pics. Perhaps touching base with the individuals suggested or the police is the way to go.
That is at least Shamong on one side of the trestle and maybe Tabernacle or Washington as you cross the trestle.
In any event, the State Police will have little interest in handling a complaint deep in Wharton unless you get no help from the NJ Parks and Forestry police force.
46'er has a good suggestion with contacting a superior at Batsto.
Carmel Capoferri is a higher up in the park police and she attends the Pine Barrens cleanup in the fall.
She was kickass down here in Pestletown on busting quads back in the day.
Here is her bio.

She can be contacted through the Batsto office.

You did a good deed sir.
I'm very pleased to hear that she has been caught. Hopefully the authorities do take this seriously and throw the book at her. I hope she burns for this one. if it continues on after this I'll be looking myself.
Geez, this woman is a whack job. Definitely needs to be stopped asap. Someone's going to break a leg or worse.
trestle
I'd say throw some square drive screws in the planks with some wire hidden underneath. Can't just pull the planks up then, and if someone tries to cut the boards, they'll wreck the teeth of they're saw in the process. Glad to hear the trestle's lumber pirate is getting taken care of.

That is seriously screwed. Even a smaller, older person or a younger child could get pretty fetched up and cut up in that just trying to cross on a walk.
There's anger in that person to be so wicked.
Definately right up there with wire on trails at neck height and carefully hidden sharp spikes. Sick.
g.
I took these at 9:00 AM this morning at the Batsto tressle.
Deliberately over a rotten tie.
that is the trestle at deep run I think
Nope, it's over the Batsto.
I didn't even look at the lesser trestle's. I will go back tomorrow to put perspective on it.
If you came to the bridge and expected a road you wouldn't even see the hole, on mountain bike, dirt bike or a pleasant walk down the tracks which I used to be able to do..
Did she know about this site (NJPineBarrens)when you mentioned it? What was actually said?

When I approached her I basically said "what do you think you are doing". She had a dog that was now standing at my feet growling so I was sort of distracted, trying to keep one eye on her and making sure that her dog was cool. She started saying how the boards were placed illegally by the evil bikers. I said I believed that they were placed by the state. After some exchange she asked where I had heard that the state had done it. I then mentioned the site,trying to recall exactly what I had read here, asking if she was familiar with it. She said no, but my instinct was that she was lying. Something about the way she looked when I said it, she looked surprised, then denial.
