  • 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 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 New Jersey Pinelands
    AN ANNUAL REPORT BY THE PINELANDS PRESERVATION ALLIANCE WWW.PINELANDSALLIANCE.ORG 2018 The New Jersey Pinelands The Pine Barrens is a vast forested area extending across South Jersey’s coastal plain. This important region protects the world’s largest example of pitch pine barrens on Earth and the globally rare pygmy pine forests. One of the largest fresh water aquifers, the Kirkwood-Cohansey, lies underneath its forests and wetlands. The Pine Barrens is home to many rare species, some of which can now only be found here having been extirpated elsewhere. During the 1960’s construction of the world’s largest supersonic jetport and an accompanying city of 250,000 people was proposed for the Pine Barrens. This proposal galvanized citizens, scientists and activists to find a way to permanently protect the Pinelands. In 1978 Congress passed the National Parks and Recreation Act which established the Pinelands National Reserve, our country’s first. In 1979 New Jersey adopted the Pinelands Protection Act. This Act implemented the federal statute, created the Pinelands Commission, and directed the Commission to adopt a Comprehensive Management Plan (CMP) to manage development throughout the region. Many residents do not know that all new development is controlled by the nation’s most innovative regional land use plan. The CMP is designed to preserve the pristine conditions found within the core of the Pinelands while accommodating human use and some growth around the periphery. The Pinelands Commission’s staff of approximately 40 professionals is directed by 15 Commissioners who serve voluntarily. Seven Commissioners are appointed by the Governor with approval of the state Senate, seven by the counties in the Pinelands, and one by the U.S.
