Hello all, I've been meaning to post this for a few weeks, believe it or not. But now I'm caught up with email and with Youtube videos being sent to me and so on. So, a few weeks ago I hiked in the Piney Hollow Preservation Area, over in Franklin Township, Gloucester County. This preserve is just north of the Unexpected Wildlife Refuge. In fact the properties are adjoining. While there I shot a video in 4 parts. If you go to my Youtube channel ( http://www.youtube.com/user/MillerMeteor74 ) and look back 30 videos back from the newest one, you'll find the videos I shot there. The ponds are gorgeous, and according to the USGS survey maps they are old cranberry bogs. The species there include, In the wetlands and damp ground areas: Atlantic White Cedar, Swamp (Red) Maple Sour (Black) Gum Sweetgum (I think) American Holly Highbush Blueberry Sweet Pepperbush Inkberry Holly In the dry uplands: Pitch Pine Shortleaf Pine (I think) Black Oak White Oak Spanish Oak Post Oak Blackjack Oak (I think) Chestnut Oak (I think) another species of oak A species of Hickory (I don't know hickories well) Scrub Oak I'm starting to forget now. That's why I put (I think) after some of the species names. I should have posted the evening after that hike. Anyway, there was a huge species diversity there, although such diversity is normal in the Pine Barrens anyway. But I figured some would find this of interest, and might enjoy the hike.
