Description
Excerpt from The Vegetation of the New Jersey Pine-Barrens: An Ecologic Investigation
Through the interest of Alfred Gaskill, Chief of the Division of Fores try and Parks, Department of Conservation and Development of New Jersey, permission was given by the New Jersey Geological Survey to use its map of 1915 as a base map upon which the details of the pine barr''en vegetation have been printed in color. This has been done as faithfully as the constant shifting of the relative positions of the wild and cultivated areas of the region has permitted, as also the changes produced by fires and the axes of lumbermen, especially in the removal of the valuable white cedar trees from the swamps of the southern part of the state. It is noteworthy that a white cedar swamp of a month ago may become a second growth deciduous swamp of the following year. Such changes are not always represented on a map based upon surveys made before such changes take place.
