    THE HISTORY of the BATSTO Post Office by Arne Englund

    Arne Englund ~ HISTORY OF BATSTO PO THE HISTORY of the BATSTO Post Office By Arne Englund The cover shown in Figure 1 is the first reported example of the stampless-era Batsto, NJ CDS. At NOJEX in 2013 I asked one of the cover dealers if he had any New Jersey covers, and he replied that he only had a few, which he’d just acquired. This cover was on the top of the small stack, where it stayed for all of about two seconds(!). Fig. 1. Recently discovered Batsto CDS used in the stampless era, estimated usage between 1853 and 1855, on an envelope addressed to Mr. Sam’l W. Gaskill in Mays Landing. The red BATSTO JAN 10 N.J. CDS measures 30mm. The matching red PAID 3 handstamp measures 22mm. Closeups of each are shown in Figures 2 and 3. Fig. 2: Red CDS not listed in Coles or the Fig. 3: Red Paid marking Coles Update. The cover is not dated, but as the Batsto Post Office was opened June 28, 1852, and as mandatory prepayment of postage by U.S. postage stamps was enacted in March of 1855, the envelope would then date between 1853 and 1855. Vol. 43/No. 4 189 NJPH Whole No. 200 Nov 2015 HISTORY OF BATSTO PO ~ Arne Englund A manuscript BATSTO cancel on cover with a 3¢ 1851 stamp and docketed 1852 is shown in Figure 4, it being sent only 3 months after the establishment of the P.O. and, of course, predating the stampless cover as well.
  • Where to Go Camping

    Where to Go Camping

    There was a statement in an older version of the Boy Scout Handbook that said: “Have you ever dreamed of hiking the wilderness trails that were worn down under moccasins hundreds of years ago? Do you hear in your imagination the almost soundless dip, dip of Indian canoe paddles or the ring of the axe of an early pioneer hewing a home out of the American wilderness? Have you followed with you mind’s eye the covered wagon on the trek across our continent? Yes, it’s fun to be a Boy Scout! It’s fun to go hiking and camping with your best friends…..to swim, to dive, to paddle a canoe, to wield the axe…..to follow in the footsteps of the pioneers who led the way through the wilderness…..to stare into the glowing embers of the campfire and dream of the wonders of the lift that is in store for you…” This is the heart of Scouting, but we don’t always know the best place to go on these outings. How better can the Order of the Arrow fulfill a part of their responsibility of service to others than to make this camping guide available? A great guide to the best camping, boating, hiking and sightseeing both in and out of the Council, but, of course, one of the best places to do real camping is at one of the Council’s reservations. Richard A. Henson or Rodney Scout Reservation, both long term camping during the summer months, or weekends through the year, affords a maximum of program.
  • A Century of Forest Stewardship in New Jersey 1905-2005

    A Century of Forest Stewardship in New Jersey 1905-2005

    A Century of Forest Stewardship in New Jersey 1905-2005 Researched and written by Kevin Wright © Kevin Wright 2005 An Introduction to New Jersey’s Natural Parks and Forest Reservations Tucked between blue-hazed mountains and the ocean shore, the State of New Jersey occupies a full cross section of the Atlantic slope with terrains and habitats that vary remarkably mile by mile. The cultural landscape is equally picturesque; what began as the most ethnically and religiously diverse colony has become the most densely populated State in the Union. Consequently a wonderful variety of plant and animal life competes on a daily basis with a spreading suburban population for space and resources. New Jersey’s virgin forests vanished by 1860, having been repeatedly cut over. With such widespread deforestation, even the Highlands “presented a perfectly bare appearance.” By 1900, about 46% of New Jersey’s land area, amounting to two million acres, remained woodland, though its condition was generally poor. Though this forest area was close to lumber markets, its overall value was insignificant, due mainly to repeated and uncontrolled destruction by forest fires. The first generation of professional American foresters, trained mainly in the carefully managed forest reserves of Germany, recommended the practice of scientific forestry to restore the exhausted condition of New Jersey’s remnant woodlands after centuries of exploitation. They believed that even the poor sandy soils of the Pine Barrens might yield crops of “commercially valuable trees … at a more rapid rate than is the rule on the average forest soil in the East, due to a favorable climate.”1 They not only advocated the creation of an organized firefighting force, but also a system of state-owned demonstration forests to promote reforestation.

The proposal recommended the transfer of existing and future sewage flows from Regional Growth Areas located in the three Atlantic Basin municipalities to the Delaware Basin. Information which was subsequently provided to the Commission by the Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority (CCMUA) indi­ cated that the ultimate design flow for this interbasin transfer was 3.6 million gallons per day and 2.75 million gallons per day from the Mullica River Basin and Great Egg Harbor River Basin, respectively.

    Accomplishments of State Preservation Programs

    The Accomplishments of State Preservation Programs A Compilation of Reports, Plans and other Studies Detailing Land Preservation, Farmland Preservation and Historic Preservation Accomplishments with State Funding in New Jersey A Project of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation in cooperation with New Jersey‐ Keep It Green Coalition Paper written by Elliott Ruga 4/15/09 Introduction The Garden State Preservation Trust (GSPT) is a national model for financing land conservation and one of the largest state‐run efforts ever launched in the United States. The GSPT serves as the financing authority to secure funds for the state Green Acres Program, Farmland Preservation Program, and the New Jersey Historic Trust. The accomplishments of the Trust as well as the economic and environmental benefits realized in New Jersey because of the GSPT are measurable and remarkable. Voters on November 3, 1998, approved Public Question #1 amending the New Jersey Constitution to dedicate $98 million a year from the Sales and Use Tax for land preservation, historic preservation and park development. The dedication began in 1999 and continues until 2029. The objective was to fund a ten‐year preservation program. The final 20 years of the dedication were in place to cover the debt payments on bonds that would be issued during the ten‐year acquisition program to finance the appropriation. The acquisition period ends in 2009. Yet the work of land and historic preservation is unfinished. Unmet needs remain, and taking care of the lands and properties already preserved is one of those pressing needs. To this end, the New Jersey Conservation Foundation in cooperation with the New Jersey‐ Keep It Green Coalition has developed a series of white papers about the statewide benefits, accomplishments and future needs for continued state funding for open space and farmland preservation, restoration and stewardship of natural and recreational areas, and historic preservation.
