I know the Sarracenia purpurea grows here in N.J. in the pinelands, I hike here in Wharton State Forest and stimbled into a small area of S. purpurea around the Hawkins Bridge area. Do any of the locals know of this area or hopefully this is a new area where no-one has found yet. Please let me know I do not live far from the park and have no problems camping out or hiking to area. Thanks. Glenn Attachments:

Congrat's on your find -- it's always exciting to find things in situ...
There are folks from the east coast on here they should be able to help!

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.

There are scattered and isolated bogs all over New Jersey, all the way north to the New York boarder, but the majority of them are in the Pine Barrens, which unofficially starts at Tom's River, and extends southward to a few miles south from Tuckerton, and west for about 60 miles, more or less. - Rich

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.
