I love the re-use of the slurpie cups what a great idea. I've been save small soup containers and chinese take outs with clear lids. I think im going to modify a coat rack from the 60's and build some shelveing and add a 4' light rack I can adjust.

You pictures are wonderful. I enjoyed both the natural habitat and your garden. Was the small woody plant next to the sundew (picture 3) Cranberry?

Would there be a possibility of getting together this year in the Pine Barrens? I would love to set aside time and meet everyone.I am local to the area and could volunteer to pick people up from the airports or assist in any way needed.

Yes Bob thank you I'm new to ICPS and forums in general. I have many questions do I create a post or thread? I'm not sure how to keep things current and have been adding replies which might go unnoticed.

What a beautiful site. I pass Atision Lake weekly now it's just coming out of Ice bound. Across the street are many hummocks of sphagnum which are emerald green, I keep looking for hibernaculum and tell tail signs of last years growth. Still no luck. I will try a walk about this Sunday.

Yes I agree with Mark beautiful plants. I will have to check my local Lake (White City Lake) Trenton NJ. It is full of aquatic growth. Possibly some aquatic carnivores. I will take pictures and report back.

Nihgtwulf I stopped on Rt. 206 south right before Tukerton road there's a small creek which runs to Indian Mills lake. I followed the deer tail in spotted a beatiful clump of sphagnum and went over my boots in the mud. The walking stick I had went 36" before hitting the bottom. Sadly the mossy hummuck was still 3 feet in front of me. Any thoughts on swamp safety and walking about. I have rubber boots and waders for fishing but really dont want to losse a boot or get stuck where i cant get out.

I enjoyed the pod cast of Mr. D'amato. I found it curious that Sarrracenia remains were found in a Creatacious depost in NJ and was wondering if it were close to Sayerville or Parlin. I've done some kicking around in the area and found much carboniforous charcoaled material in conjunction with Marcasite and Lignite. My friend found an entire tree stump covered in a pyritic/marcasite crust it was amazing. Unfornunatly the site has been devoloped into condo's and no longer avalable the walk. This while descouraging leads me to believe other sites in the general area might offer access if the same stratigraphy could be located.

Glen my name is Bill I am also a NJ resident and currently working in the area Marlton/Medford/Oriental area. I purchased Topo maps of the Wharton State Forest and surrounding areas from the Batso ranger station for 7$ per map. There appears to be many places to walk and enjoy the Pine Barrens. Congrats on your wonderful find and I hope you see many more.
