  • 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.

  • Terrestrial and Palustrine Plant Communities of Pennsylvania
    ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS unding for this project was provided by the Wild Resource Conservation Fund. Data used in the development of this classification came largely from Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory F partners: The Nature Conservancy, DCNR's Bureau of Forestry, and the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. Tom Smith's 1991 draft "Natural Ecological Communities of Pennsylvania" provided the foundation upon which this classification was built. This effort owes much to its predecessor. This work relies heavily on the expertise and many years of field experience provided by the following people: Tony Davis, Dan Devlin, Charles Bier, Andra Leimanis, Jeff Wagner, Mark Anderson, Roger Earl Latham. Several of these people provided draft community descriptions, species lists, or environmental descriptions of community types. All of these people have reviewed multiple draft versions of this classification and have given generously of their time, wisdom, and experience. Many thanks to all of the people who reviewed earlier drafts of this classification, and provided suggestions, guidance, technical assistance, and encouragement, including: Ashton Berdine John Kunsman Jim Bissell Julie Lundgren Dave Boyd Kathy McKenna Chad Buhrman Ken Metzler Bureau of Forestry Staff Susan Munch Don Cameron Chris Nowak Dick Croop Greg Podniesinski Roger Dorsey Connie Reightler Greg Edinger Carol Reschke Jenni Farber Ann Rhoads Chris Firestone Rich Ring Ted Grisez Ann Robinson Steve Grund Lesley Sneddon Stevens Heckscher Kim Steiner Robert Hill Susan Stout Steve

  • Working-Class Environmentalism Andthe New
    THE END OF THESE WOODS: WORKING-CLASS ENVIRONMENTALISM ANDTHE NEW JERSEY PINELANDS JETPORT by ROBERT HOBERMAN A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in History written under the direction of Neil Maher and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ Newark, New Jersey October, 2017 ©[2017] Robert Hoberman ALL RIGHTS RESERVED On the night before Valentine’s Day, 1969, more than four hundred people, residents of Ocean and Burlington Counties, packed Toms River, New Jersey’s National Guard Armory. The crowd had come to protest the construction of a massive supersonic jetport deep in the Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey. Fearing noise, air and water pollution, and congestion, these protestors were eager to learn what they could do to make sure the project would not move forward. They were furious that a state commission had recommended their region as a jetport site, and that politicians from the north of the state hoped to create a new state authority to expedite its construction. Despite the palpable anger in the Armory that night, there was little chance of the protest becoming radical. Instead of taking to the streets, as others did in the tumultuous late 1960s, those in attendance listened patiently as local Assemblyman John Brown told them that “the only way you can influence these people [legislators] is to write letters and tell your friends to write letters.” As they filed out of the Armory ninety minutes later, each protestor dutifully collected a sheet of paper with the contact information for eight prominent New Jersey politicians to contact.1 The Pinelands were hardly alone in opposing the jetport.
