Sharing some highlights from last week:

We embarked on a Winter Pinelands Birding Adventure led by Senior Park Naturalist, Jen Bulava. pinelandsadventures hosted the event and provided transportation for the group to the Franklin Parker Preserve on March 16 and March 17.

Our trek spanned nearly 3 miles with notable sightings such as Tundra Swans, Wilson’s Snipe, Northern Pintail, Fox Sparrows, Greater Yellowlegs and many Bald Eagles. We even stopped to observe an impressive beaver lodge along the way. A fun time was had by all as we admired the pine barrens landscapes of this special preserve. Thank you Pinelands Adventures – we look forward to more opportunities to explore and partner with you!

STATE OF THE PINELANDS 2023
The Pinelands Preservation Alliance ( @pinelandsalliance ) presents this annual report in order to sum up the health of the Pinelands preservation efforts by our federal, state and local government agencies. We seek to provide the public and the agencies themselves with a report card that we can all use to move forward and do better in protecting this unique natural treasure.

Help protect Wharton State Forest by participating in this public meeting!

Public Meeting: Establishing a Map for Wharton State Forest
Date: Wednesday, February 8, 2023
Time: 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm
Organizer: New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
Location: Virtual via Microsoft Teams
IMPORTANT: RSVP to let us know you will be participating. (LINK IN BIO)

The DEP will present the results of its Wharton State Forest Visitor and Vehicle Use Survey and gather public input during the second in a series of virtual public meetings on the development of a plan for public access while protecting natural resources and ensuring public safety in the state forest. After the presentation of results the public can share their comments. Comments are limited to two minutes per person. DEP will also provide the public with an update on the proposed permit system for accessing some State Park Service-owned roads. Still in the early steps of consideration, a permit system would assist in ensuring users have an adequate understanding of road conditions and vehicle requirements when traveling in remote areas of the state forest.

Your input on the creation of an accessible and enforceable State Forest map will encourage public access and protect the most important locations from destructive uses like illegal dumping and illegal off-road vehicles.

You can make a difference in how these habitats and historic sites fair in the long term by joining the many supporters of public land and speaking out at the upcoming meeting.

Critical Action:
Please let us know if you plan on attending this virtual meeting by filling out the form-LINK IN BIO

This will help us keep you in the loop about this plan and other actions you can take to protect Wharton State Forest.

Happy Winter Solstice!
Today is the shortest day and longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere in terms of daylight. Moving forward until the Summer Solstice, we will be gaining daylight. We hope that you are able to enjoy this day with a walk through the pines, or taking some time for introspection.

Miniature train ride slicing through a decorated portion of woods. A 20 minute ride from AC gets you a taste of some genuine coal steam!!!
