ENTS,
A land preservation group claims that there is some old-growth on some
tracts they preserved along the Wickecheoke Creek in Delaware Township,
Hunterdon County, NJ
It can't be a lot since they only saved 90 acres total in this purchase and
it was said to be a mix of fields and young forest and old-growth. I don't
know what their criteria for OG is either. Some in NJ use 150 years of age
and nothing more than that. Some call anything a little mature looking OG.
Anyway whatever they are talking about I doubt could be more than 30 acres
and probably not more than 10, if even, my guess.
Oddly enough this also falls within the narrow little 60 mile wide by maybe
15 miles high band across the middle of the state where for some odd reason
almost all of the OG claims seem to lie (some already proven such as the
Mettler's Woods and Rutgers Cook Campus offshoot tracts).
anyway, just one more spot for people, whoever gets their first, myself,
someone else, to give a look at
