Pygmy Pines Plains

The central region of the Pine Barrens contains several areas of pine and oak forest that resemble the surrounding forests with one major exception: from a standing position, one can gaze over the top of the tree canopy. The Pine Barren Plains, known locally as the Pygmy Forest, contains trees that may attain a height of only about four feet at maturity. New Jersey contains the world’s largest acreage of this globally rare forest community, which can be seen within portions of Warren Grove Recreation Area. Many researchers believe that this unique stunted forest ecosystem is partly the result of the fire ecology of the Pinelands.

Places that I don’t know in the Pinelands

Sooy Place

Sooy is a place in the Pinelands that I was not familiar with. I came upon it driving down Sooy place road, making it s short cut to Long beach island. I saw this beautiful landscape and decided to explore it. It has several streams that feed some lakes. One is south branch of the burrs mill. The other is Slab causeway branch.

Here’s some photos for your enjoyment and if go out there watch out for Dangerous Dave.

Pygmy Pines Plains

Here’s a blast from the past from the world famous Pygmy Pines Plains, I love the desolation of this area. Physiologist tell that vast UN-interrupted landscape stop one from being in depression. Maybe this is why I love this place so much. If you study these photos you will see there is lots of diversity in the Pinelands.
