  • 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.

Box 72,800 Crreat Creek Road Oceanville, NI0823l Dear Mr. Atzeft. sfi On November 16, 2006, USDA Forest Service personnel conducted a gypsy moth egg mass survey at the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. Kevin Holcomb and Vinny Turner, of your staffassisted us during the survey. According to our records, this was the first gypsy moth egg mass survey ever conducted at the Refuge. The purposes of this survey were to determine gypsy moth population densities and to assess the potential for defoliation in2007. The survey started in the northern portion ofthe Refuge in Brick Township on the deCamp Wildlife Trail and progressed southward through the old Game Farm and finished near the town of Manahawkin. A total of six acres were surveyed. The survey consisted of casually walking a distance of at least 200 yards in each area while scanning tree boles and branches for gypsy moth egg masses. I am pleased to report that no new (2006) egg masses were detected and only a handful of old egg masses (2005 and beforQ were detected. During the survey, Kevin and Vinny were shown how to differentiate between old and new egg masses. Based on the results of the survey, no defoliation is likely to occur at the Refuge in 2007. For your information, I have enclosed a map at the defoliation that was detected in the state of New Jersey in 2006 @igure 1).
