		<title>Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterflies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		

Some photos of Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterflies I took the other day. A fairly common species in the eastern US, they were gathering on a butterfly bush around dusk. There were about 6-7 all together, mostly males. I did spot one female though.

		<title>No Impact Man</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
I just watched  No Impact Man: The Documentary, which is the story of a family living in NYC trying to live without making an environmental impact for a year.
It made me think, a lot.
I&#8217;ve recently gone back to school to study environmental science, and the last few weeks I&#8217;ve felt a bit lost, not sure [...]]]></description>

		<title>NJ State Parks &#8220;Passport to Adventure&#8221;</title>

Last Labor Day weekend while Liz and I were camping in Worthington State Forest, we picked up one of the State Park&#8217;s &#8220;Passport to Adventure&#8221;. Its a small book that you use to collect stickers from 36 different sites around the state, which include state parks, forests and historic sites. From the state&#8217;s website, &#8220;The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Help save the Dismal Swamp from development!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
The Edison Wetlands Association needs our help:
&#8220;On Monday, November 16 at 7PM, the Edison Township Planning Board will host a hearing on a proposed development plan in the 1,240-acre Dismal Swamp Conservation Area. This application would require a diversion of stormwater onto Green Acres property, which would potentially have catastrophic effects, as seen in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Contraceptives for Deer?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
The Asbury Park Press recently wrote an article about the use of GonaCon, which is a drug that is supposed to prevent does, along with other animals, from becoming pregnant.
This sounds like a good idea on the surface. New Jersey has a &#8216;problem&#8217; with deer, we have been expanding into their habitat, so now there [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gear Review: La Sportiva Exum Pro Shoe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
As I&#8217;ve said before, I&#8217;m  fairly new to hiking, so I was looking for a good &#8216;all-around&#8217; shoe. Since I&#8217;m not exactly sure what I like, and wanted a shoe that would be suited for most things. One of the best sources in my opinion that I&#8217;ve found for researching gear is Backpacker Magazine. Conveniently [...]]]></description>

Saturday, October 3rd was the Ny-Nj Trail Conference&#8217;s 2nd Annual People for Trails Hike-a-Thon, which Liz &#38; I participated in. It was at Bear Mountian State Park, NY, which is quite a nice park that we will be returning to in spring (unless we get a few nice days before winter). The weather left a [...]]]></description>

Last weekend Liz &#38; I went camping at Worthington State Forest near the Deleware Water Gap in north-western NJ. I&#8217;ll write more about Worthington in another post, here I wanted to tell you about Dingmans Falls, which we visited while we were up there. I wasn&#8217;t too familiar with the Water Gap before going up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hiking Resources</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Being fairly new to hiking, I&#8217;ve found some helpful websites that I thought I&#8217;d share:
American Hiking Society is a national organization to promote hiking and preserve open space. Besides offering great resources and information for hikers, they are constantly monitoring legislation that affects hiking. For instance, The Complete America’s Great Trails Act needs your support.

A recent e-mail from the Sierra Club irked me, I&#8217;m on there mailing list for the newsletter. Apparently the  EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson  called for greater diversity in the environmental movement while speaking to the  National Environmental Justice Advisory Council two  weeks ago. That is all well and good I suppose, [...]]]></description>
