The musky in NJ monthly

I really am interested in helping out with any part of a project involving dam removal and would appreciate if you would post on this board if volunteers are ever wanted.

About the only help needed for any dam removal is when it's time to plant the banks upstream in the former impoundment. In the case of the Warren Glen Mill dam, that will be dozens of weekends over several years to get it right using literally thousands of volunteers to help. We may well be a few years or more away and I highly doubt I'll still be at TU as an employee (although you never know), but I'll be there to do what I can myself. The restoration of the Musky Gorge will be one of the largest river restoration projects anywhere on the East coast and it will be all hands on deck. Seven and a half years ago when I met with them for the first time, the owners of the mills said no way to removal. Now they are leading our charge to remove and knocking down obstacles along the way for us. Great to be a small part of that story.
 
Hmm...I know of a fairly significant falls on Scout Run. I haven't check out Pine Run all that much, though. Once you get to know the ins & outs of the trail system there, the hike is nothing at all. I have my own 'route' I've found to get in and out and it takes me no more than 15 minutes with only one section that is nothing above moderate in the grade of the trail. One of the elusive wild browns from the gorge View attachment 10872 Please bear in mind that there are significantly better wild trout streams within a very short radius of this location. Plus, there is a hike involved and temps right now are most likely above ethical levels.
really pretty brown

I never found time to help plant in the spring , was doing more work on my new property setting up the garden for the wife. Will be looking out for when to bring the kids up to help.
