  • 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.

    Monmouth County Park System Recreation Assistance Program 2019 Activity Listing MonmouthCountyParks.com Who We Are The Monmouth County Park System was established in 1960 when 24 acres of land left over from the construction of the Garden State Parkway were used to create Shark River Park. We have been growing ever since. Today, we manage 43 park areas that include forests, wetland/marine habitats, golf courses, historic sites, recreation areas and conservation sites. One of our long-term goals is to preserve more than 19,000 acres - 7% of the county - as public space. Along with securing land for future generations, we also offer more than 6,000 programs, camps, activities and events each year. What We Do The Monmouth County Park System is proud to offer many opportunities for school, community, scout and other groups.

  • The Use of a Roving Creel Survey to Monitor Exploited Coastal Fish Species in the Goukamma Marine Protected Area, South Africa
    The use of a Roving Creel Survey to monitor exploited coastal fish species in the Goukamma Marine Protected Area, South Africa by Carika Sylvia van Zyl A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Technoligae, Nature Conservation Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University 2011 i I, Carika Sylvia van Zyl (s208027504) hereby declare that the work in this document is my own. ii Abstract A fishery-dependant monitoring method of the recreational shore-based fishery was undertaken in the Goukamma Marine Protected Area (MPA) on the south coast of South Africa for a period of 17 months. The method used was a roving creel survey (RCS), with dates, times and starting locations chosen by stratified random sampling. The MPA was divided into two sections, Buffalo Bay and Groenvlei, and all anglers encountered were interviewed. Catch and effort data were collected and catch per unit effort (CPUE) was calculated from this. The spatial distribution of anglers was also mapped. A generalized linear model (GLM) was fitted to the effort data to determine the effects of month and day type on the variability of effort in each section. Fitted values showed that effort was significantly higher on weekends than on week days, in both sections. A total average of 3662 anglers fishing 21 428 hours annually is estimated within the reserve with a mean trip length of 5.85 hours. Angler numbers were higher per unit coastline length in Buffalo Bay than Groenvlei, but fishing effort (angler hours) was higher in Groenvlei. Density distributions showed that anglers were clumped in easily accessible areas and that they favored rocky areas and mixed shores over sandy shores.

  • Project Learning Tree Correlation for the Sites in the New Jersey Wildlife Viewing Guide
    Using Project Learning Tree and Project WILD at sites described in the New Jersey Wildlife Viewing Guide The New Jersey Wildlife Viewing Guide describes 87 of the most interesting places in New Jersey from a wildlife habitat standpoint. Many of these sites offer exciting, educationally-stimulating programs that focus on local wildlife, natural and cultural history at a reasonable price. At sites without an interpretive program you can create your own natural history program by using activities from Project Learning Tree and Project WILD. This document gives some suggestions for activities you can use at the various sites. Be sure to call the phone number listed in the Viewing Guide for each site to verify bus parking and other particulars, and to avoid scheduling conflicts.
