Precious Offspring U8A8472 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: A week doesn't seem like much time but it's amazing how much a young deer grows and accomplishes in such a short time. Still, a little fawn spends much of the day alone and in hiding until it has grown enough to keep up with the other deer. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to see them grow and I am humbled that their mothers feel that our yards are safe havens for their precious offspring.

Do you have advice for finding creatures at the shore??? I live in Jersey but I've only ever seen sand crabs and horseshoe crabs.. my dream is to see a sea angel

Yes totally.

1) Go out at night. The shore absolutely comes alive at night

2) Find a dock. Bring a hand net and a pint glass. Lay on your stomach. Be patient, wait for some wild shit to swim by. That’s how I’ve seen all my sea angels!

3) Find places that actually get dark at night, go there after dark. I usually go to Sea Isle, so Corson’s I let state park is a keeper for me

4) Go seining. Never know what you’ll get- watch out for stingrays! Some parks will do that for you like island beach state park!

They are now logging Merrill Creek!

Hey there, fellow outdoors lovers! One of our SRRP team members discovered this week that commercial logging is occurring at Merrill Creek Reservoir in Warren County, NJ. It stinks when you go hiking to enjoy green pastures and try to get away from it all, only to find yourself confronted by heavy machinery cutting down trees and scarring hiking trails. Isn't that escape the reason you go hiking in the first place?

The logging at Merrill Creek is similar to what we faced at Roaring Rock Park in 2021. Logging is about more than losing trees. It leads to soil erosion, which can mess up the land and our waterways, which we depend on for recreation (fishing) and clean drinking water.

Now, you might be thinking, "But Merrill Creek is private land. The landowners can do what they want with it, right?" Well, it's not that simple. These are our natural spaces, and we all have a stake in them. Plus, some of these logging activities are being kept hush-hush, which is a red flag.

So, what can we do? First off, we need to spread the word about this issue. Then, we must push our lawmakers and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to enforce and strengthen laws protecting our forests.

Our forests are more than just timber. They're home to wildlife, they give us clean air, they help ensure our clean water supply, and they're our escape to nature. Let's stand up for them and ensure they're here for our kids and grandkids to enjoy.

New Kid in Town... 6952 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: Spring is a favorite time of year but not because of its weather. I cherish the flurry of animal activity that characterizes the season. Most of all, I love the new lives coming into existence and watching them make their way through life. Yesterday’s new kid in town chose a neighbor’s garden to make her debut. Mom knows she is safe there while she goes out to forage. The evening light was beautiful filtering through the grass and the little fawn’s ears.
