  • 2 Red Bank Battlefield Park
    Preface The beautiful natural areas in Gloucester County, New Jersey, tend to be unknown and unexplored by many local residents. The goal of this book is to introduce these diverse, special natural areas so more people will learn to love them and work to keep them pro- tected for generations to come. If you haven't spent much time outdoors in Gloucester County, you will be amazed at the possibilities. As a county map shows, pro- tected areas available to the public exist in most areas of the county. Some will be in completely unanticipated places, such as the wildlife area that has been preserved around Wheelabrator, the trash-to- steam plant in West Deptford. On a recent visit to this spot, a bald eagle flew low overhead and Baltimore orioles sang from the trees. The other extreme is the Unexpected Wildlife Refuge. This gem of a spot is on the far reaches of the county and is a private refuge that requires permission before you visit. When you drive down the dirt road toward the refuge, you will look around and think, “Can this still be Gloucester County?” There are birds, flowers, trees, mammals-such as foxes and groundhogs-frogs and fishes waiting outside your door. Those with a deep interest in nature as well as everyone who needs to get out- doors and be in the wild every now and then can appreciate these parks. And who doesn’t enjoy some open space, trees, and fresh air every now and then? What are you waiting for? Pick up this book and head to the closest site.

Matthews (Montclair State University), Bradley Phillippi (Northwestern University) Chair(s): Bradley D. Phillippi (Northwestern University) Discussant(s): Paul Mullins (Indiana University-Purdue University), Terrance M. Weik (University South Carolina) Symbolic and structural violence refer to exploitative and unjust social, economic, and political practices that privilege some and impoverish others. Effects of violence can be cumulative and materialize in varied forms including hunger, poverty, sickness, and premature death, and the link between subtle forms of structural violence and overt expressions of direct violence is undeniable. Moreover, the interplay between violence and privilege has arguably become more diffuse and normative in modern historic contexts. This session explores material and archaeological evidence of violence to explain how complex modern societies are structured by violence and privilege in unexpected and naturalized ways. Papers explore physical and emblematic barriers and assaults that enforced exclusion as well as material and symbolic tactics employed both to defend and challenge structural inequalities.

  • Open Space and Recreation Plan for the Township of Harrison Was Provided By
    OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION PLAN HARRISON prepared by: Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission with: The Open Space Committee of Harrison Township NOVEMBER 2006 DRAFT-for-Will Stevens 102 Created in 1965, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is an interstate, intercounty and intercity agency that provides continuing, comprehensive and coordinated planning to shape a vision for the future growth of the Delaware Valley region. The region includes Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties, as well as the City of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania; and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Mercer counties in New Jersey. DVRPC provides technical assistance and services; conducts high priority studies that respond to the requests and demands of member state and local governments; fosters cooperation among various constituents to forge a consensus on diverse regional issues; determines and meets the needs of the private sector; and practices public outreach efforts to promote two-way communication and public awareness of regional issues and the Commission. Our logo is adapted from the official DVRPC seal, and is designed as a stylized image of the Delaware Valley. The outer ring symbolizes the region as a whole, while the diagonal bar signifies the Delaware River. The two adjoining crescents represent the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey. This report was funded in part by the Association of New Jersey Environmental Commissions’ (ANJEC) Smart Growth Assistance Grant Program, which is supported by the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation. Funding was also provided by the Township of Harrison and by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission’s Open Space and Greenways Program.

  • Historic Preservation Element
    HARRISON TOWNSHIP MASTER PLAN HISTORIC PRESERVATION ELEMENT Public Hearing: July 16, 1998 HISTORIC PRESERVATION ELEMENT The TOWNSHIP OF HARRISON was formed on January 31, 1844 and was comprised of land taken from the then existing townships of Greenwich and Woolwich. Originally named SPICER TOWNSHIP in honor of Jacob Spicer, an early settler, the township was renamed in honor of General William Henry Harrison, Ninth President of the United States. The township originally included the land area now comprising South Harrison Township. A. EARLY SETTLEMENT HISTORY of HARRISON TOWNSHIP The township’s earliest settlement by all historic accounts was by the Mullica (Molica) family in the very late 17th or early 18th century. Erick, the father, is often cited as the first resident although recent research has indicated that it may have been Erick’s son, William Mullica, who was the first member of the family to move into the township. This early settlement was on the north side of the Raccoon Creek in Mullica Hill. During the 18th century as Mullica Hill grew as the center of commerce and civic activity of the township, the village of Ewansville (Ewan), and the hamlets of Jefferson and Five Points (Richwood) were established as smaller communities. The relative significance of these four village areas has been maintained through the last two hundred years as the township has maintained its rural agricultural economic base and activities into the late 1980’s. During the 1970’s and 1980’s, the agricultural activity in the township has slowly given way to single family home development. The majority of this home building has been on individual lots facing onto county roads.
