  • 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 Nature of Boulder-Rich Deposits in the Upper Big Flat Brook Drainage, Sussex County, New Jersey
    Middle States Geographer, 2009, 42: 33-43 THE NATURE OF BOULDER-RICH DEPOSITS IN THE UPPER BIG FLAT BROOK DRAINAGE, SUSSEX COUNTY, NEW JERSEY Gregory A. Pope, Andrew J. Temples, Sean I. McLearie, Joanne C. Kornoelje, and Thomas J. Glynn Department of Earth & Environmental Studies Montclair State University 1 Normal Avenue Montclair, New Jersey, 07043 ABSTRACT: The upper reaches of the Big Flat Brook drainage, northwest of Kittatinny Mountain, contain a variety of glacial, pro-glacial, and periglacial deposits from the Late Quaternary. The area is dominated by recessional moraines and ubiquitous ground moraine, along with meltwater deposits, drumlins, and possible post- glacial periglacial features. We have identified a curious boulder-rich deposit in the vicinity of Lake Ocquittunk and Lake Wapalanne on upper Big Flat Brook. The area where these boulder deposits occur is mapped (1:24,000 surficial geology) as till. As mapped and observed, larger cobbles and boulders within the till are quartz-pebble conglomerate, quartzite, sandstone, and shale. The boulder-rich deposits differ from the typical till, however. Unlike the local till, which is more mixed in lithology, the boulder deposits are nearly exclusively Shawangunk conglomerate. The deposits are discontinuous, but appear to occur at a topographic level above the meltwater stream terraces. The boulders in the deposits lie partially embedded in soil, but are very closely spaced. The boulders range in size from ~20cm to over 100cm, and present a subrounded to subangular shape. There appears to be a fabric orientation of the boulders, NE-SW, with subsidiary orientations. As the boulder deposits differ from other mapped features in the area, we attempt to ascertain the origin for the deposits.

  • February 2021: Feathered Friends
    February 2021 Feathered Friends Part 1: ​Bird is the Word This is part one of Feathered Friends, providing some educational resources about birds and explaining how bird feeding and bird watching can be a healthy hobby. February is National Bird Feeding Month; feeding birds is particularly important in the wake of cold, snowy winters. Taking an interest in birds can provide many benefits for you as well as the birds. It is important to keep in mind what kinds of food make up a good bird diet so your feathered friends stay healthy, too. After you're done reading, don't forget to listen to our webinars every Tuesday! You can find registration links and recordings here. We are also holding Healthy Lifestyles Project: LIVE events, every Wednesday at 11 AM and Friday at 1 PM. Register here. National Bird- Feeding Month History On February 23, 1994, John Porter (a U.S. Representative for Illinois) proclaimed February as National Bird-Feeding Month when he read a resolution into the Congressional Record. February is one of the most difficult months in the United States for wild birds. People are encouraged to provide food, water, and shelter to help wild birds survive. According to the U.S. Fish and Wild​life Service, more than 50 million North Americans feed wild birds. How It Helps Birds According to the 2016 State of North America’s Birds report, one-third of all our continent’s bird species need urgent conservation action. More than 400 birds are on the report’s Watch List of species considered most at risk of extinction.

  • Freshwater Fisheries Annual Report 2016 Appendices
    APPENDIX A Stream Electrofishing Survey Data (2016) This section of the report includes stream survey data completed by the Bureau of Freshwater Fisheries in 2016. All surveys, unless specifically noted otherwise, are sampled in accordance to the Bureau’s established stream sampling protocol which is consistent with EPA’s Rapid Bioassement Protocol for Wadeable Streams. The Bureau’s wadeable stream survey protocol can be found in Appendix B. The Bureau also assesses in-stream and riparian conditions by performing a Habitat Assessment at the time of each survey. This assessment is consistent with the EPA Rapid Bioassessment sampling habitat assessment protocol with regional modifications (Appendix C). Basic water quality parameters are also measured. Surveys are listed alphabetically by stream name within identified watershed areas. Each survey is identified by the specific Activity by which it was funded. It is important to note, however, the use of established stream sampling protocols permits data to be used beyond the specific Activity for which they were collected. Data provided for the purposes of this report is only a summary of the individual stream survey data collected by the DFW’s Bureau of Freshwater Fisheries. All stream data collected under the Bureau’s standardized sampling protocol is entered into the Division’s FishTrack database.
