Agriculture is a way of life for the majority of residents in Pittsgrove Township with 30% of the land in farming. With unique natural features, such as the largest “spung” or enclosed glacial wetland in New Jersey, Pittsgrove is home to a variety of plant and animal species, including bald eagles. Half of the land in Pittsgrove contains forests, wetlands and open waters. Nearly a quarter of the township’s landscape consists of preserved open space. Half of the preserved land is owned by the State of New Jersey and managed as a state park and three wildlife management areas. The Nature Conservancy owns and manages 1,174 acres in the Willow Grove Lake Preserve. Over 2,000 acres of preserved farmland will ensure that agriculture remains a part of Pittsgrove forever. The Township owns and manages three parks developed for recreational use. Residents demonstrated their support for open space, recreation, farmland, and historic preservation in 1999 by voting to dedicate tax revenue to an open space trust fund. Four years later residents supported an increase of the tax to three cents ($0.03) per one hundred dollars of assessed value. The open space planning process revealed the following goals for preserving land in Pittsgrove: preserve farms to maintain Pittsgrove’s rural character, protect forest cover and work to retain contiguity along roads, prevent suburban sprawl, develop a trail system and identify scenic byways, buffer waterbodies, including lakes, rivers and vernal ponds, and promote public recognition of historic districts and structures. These goals resulted from the Township’s Master Plan, discussions with the Open Space Committee, and comments from residents at a public hearing held in September 2004. The Plan articulates land preservation priorities that support the cultural, social, health, and economic needs of Pittsgrove. These priorities include farmland, forestland and connecting links between forested tracts, ground and surface, and water resources. Finally, the Plan emphasizes a need to instill an appreciation of the natural environment by increasing resource-based recreation opportunities, such as hiking, biking, boating, fishing and others. The Open Space and Recreation Plan identifies special natural and historical resources in the township as well as partners who may provide support for the preservation and stewardship of these resources. The Plan also identifies ways that Pittsgrove can leverage funding to preserve recreation space and link existing natural areas. Finally, the Plan outlines an Action Program that will help Pittsgrove take positive steps to shape its future growth and development. Pittsgrove is a community with a lot of unprotected land, land conducive to growing crops as well as housing. The open space preservation program, guided by this Open Space and Recreation Plan, will prove to be a valuable tool to shape the future growth of the community and to retain Pittsgrove’s rural nature. Township of Pittsgrove – Open Space and Recreation Plan, January 2005 - This Page Intentionally Left Blank - Township of Pittsgrove – Open Space and Recreation Plan, January 2005 2 Community Resources “The State has recognized Pittsgrove Township as environmentally fragile and critical for preservation. Our soils have been designated as critical for farming and our waterways, including the Maurice River and the Muddy Run, are important watershed areas. I would like to thank all of the volunteers participating in this important open space planning process for the benefit of the Township.” - Mayor Peter Voros, at the September 27, 2004 Open Space Public Hearing The Township of Pittsgrove is located in the northeast corner of Salem County, New Jersey. The Township is made up of five historic hamlets: Centerton, Olivet, Willow Grove, Brotmanville, and Norma. Pittsgrove Township is a community with both plentiful and unique natural resources. This pastoral community is home to large contiguous forested lands with exceptional habitat for many wildlife species and picturesque farmland viewscapes. Pittsgrove Township is bounded by Upper Pittsgrove Township to the west and north, Elmer Borough to the west, Franklin Township in Gloucester County to the north, the City of Vineland in Cumberland County to the east, Deerfield Township in Cumberland County to the southeast, and Upper Deerfield Township in Cumberland County to the southwest. (See Natural Features Map) A community is defined by its natural, agricultural, recreational, and historic resources. A planned system of open space preservation and community stewardship can protect these resources and both preserve and enhance the quality of life for Pittsgrove’s residents. Natural Resources A community’s natural resources are the base upon which its life functions. Geology Pittsgrove Township is located in the Atlantic Coastal Plain physiographic province, one of the four major geological provinces in New Jersey. The Coastal Plain province is the largest of the four, encompassing an area of 4,667 square miles, or approximately sixty percent of the state. All of Salem County, as well as many of the surrounding counties, is located within this province. The Coastal Plain in the southern New Jersey region includes unconsolidated deposits ranging from ten to ninety million years old and is the youngest of the four physiographic provinces. It was formed when the continental deposits of the older metamorphosed rocks subsided below sea level and marine sediments were deposited. The Atlantic Ocean advanced onto and withdrew from the Coastal Plain a number of times during the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods. These actions led the Coastal Plain to be composed of a sequence of unconsolidated highly permeable to relatively impermeable quartzose gravel, sand, silt, glauconitic sand (greensand), and clay strata Township of Pittsgrove – Open Space and Recreation Plan, January 2005 3 that dip and thicken southeastward extending seaward onto the submerged continental shelf.1 In Pittsgrove Township the depth to bedrock is 2370 feet below sea level near Norma and 2020 feet near Elmer.2 The Atlantic Coastal Plain stretches well beyond New Jersey and is characteristic of much of the eastern coast of the United States. The Coastal Plain extends from Cape Cod around Long Island then in a southwesterly direction around the Florida panhandle then west along the coast to Mexico. The Coastal Plain province in New Jersey is further broken down to the Inner and Outer Coastal Plain. Pittsgrove

  • 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.

    Background A nomination under the title “Mining Cultural Landscape Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří” was submitted by the States (Germany/Czechia) Parties in January 2014 for evaluation as a cultural landscape under criteria (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv). The No 1478 nomination dossier was withdrawn by the States Parties following the receipt of the interim report. At the request of the States Parties, an ICOMOS Advisory process was carried out in May-September 2016. Official name as proposed by the States Parties The previous nomination dossier consisted of a serial Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří Mining Region property of 85 components. ICOMOS noticed the different approaches used by both States Parties to identify the Location components and to determine their boundaries; in some Germany (DE), Free State of Saxony; Parts of the cases, an extreme atomization of heritage assets was administrative districts of Mittelsachsen, Erzgebirgskreis, noticed. This is a new, revised nomination that takes into Meißen, Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirgeand Zwickau account the ICOMOS Advisory process recommendations. Czechia (CZ); Parts of the regions of Karlovy Vary (Karlovarskýkraj) and Ústí (Ústeckýkraj), districts of Consultations and technical evaluation mission Karlovy Vary, Teplice and Chomutov Desk reviews have been provided by ICOMOS International Scientific Committees, members and Brief description independent experts. Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří (Ore Mountains) is a mining region located in southeastern Germany (Saxony) and An ICOMOS technical evaluation mission visited the northwestern Czechia. The area, some 95 km long and property in June 2018. 45 km wide, is rich in a variety of metals, which gave place to mining practices from the Middle Ages onwards.

  • Benefits of Biodiversity Enrichment Due to Forest Conversion: Evidence from Two Choice Experiments in Germany
    Benefits of Biodiversity Enrichment due to Forest Conversion: Evidence from two Choice Experiments in Germany Jürgen Meyerhoffa, Ulf Liebeb, Volkmar Hartje a a Institute for Landscape and Environmental Planning, Technische Universität Berlin b Universität Leipzig, Institute of Sociology Corresponding author: Jürgen Meyerhoff, Institute for Landscape and Environmental Planning, Technische Universität Berlin, EB 4-2, Strasse des 17. Juni 145, D – 10623 Berlin, Germany, [email protected] Abstract Forest biodiversity has recently received increasing attention because forest ecosystems are critically important habitats in terms of biological diversity. However, although many non-marketed non-timber products provided by forest ecosystems have been subject to non-market valuation studies, little is known about the economic value of forest biodiversity at present apart from the value of genetic information. This applies to both tropical and temperate forests. In order to determine the benefits from enriched forest biodiversity, we employed choice experiments in two regions in Lower Saxony, Germany. As they are attribute based, we expected to obtain more information about how people value changes in biodiversity compared to the contingent valuation but the choice experiments only provided limited information about this since we found no significant differences between several implicit prices. Calculating the welfare measures shows that including the alternative specific constant or not switches the measure from negative to positive and vice-versa. This is also the case when we exclude all the respondents who always chose the status quo option. JEL Classification: Q23; Q51; Q57 Keywords: Alternative specific constant, choice experiment, forest biodiversity, forest conversion, implicit price, welfare measure 1 Introduction Among the non-marketed non-timber products forests provide, biodiversity has recently received increasing attention.

Late Cretaceous to Paleogene exhumation in Central Europe – localized inversion vs. large-scale domal uplift Hilmar von Eynatten1, Jonas Kley2, István Dunkl1, Veit-Enno Hoffmann1, Annemarie Simon1 1University of Göttingen, Geoscience Center, Department of Sedimentology and Environmental Geology, 5 Goldschmidtstrasse 3, 37077 Göttingen, Germany 2University of Göttingen, Geoscience Center, Department of Structural Geology and Geodynamics, Goldschmidtstrasse 3, 37077 Göttingen, Germany Correspondence to: Hilmar von Eynatten ([email protected]) Abstract. Large parts of Central Europe have experienced exhumation in Late Cretaceous to Paleogene time. Previous 10 studies mainly focused on thrusted basement uplifts to unravel magnitude, processes and timing of exhumation. This study provides, for the first time, a comprehensive thermochronological dataset from mostly Permo-Triassic strata exposed adjacent to and between the basement uplifts in central Germany, comprising an area of at least some 250-300 km across. Results of apatite fission track and (U-Th)/He analyses on >100 new samples reveal that (i) km-scale exhumation affected the entire region, (ii) thrusting of basement blocks like the Harz Mountains and the Thuringian Forest focused in the Late 15 Cretaceous (about 90-70 Ma) while superimposed domal uplift of central Germany is slightly younger (about 75-55 Ma), and (iii) large parts of the domal uplift experienced removal of 3 to 4 km of Mesozoic strata. Using spatial extent, magnitude and timing as constraints suggests that thrusting and crustal thickening alone can account for no more than half of the domal uplift.
