“The first rule of
intelligent tinkering is to save all the parts.”
Aldo Leopold
We're not just talking raccoon's and robins! We’re talking about plants that eat meat and salamanders that breed under ice, frogs that crystallize and snakes that feign death. A state where biodiversity from the north meets its southern limits and southern species meet their northern limits – a clash of the biologic titans that causes a diversity windfall for all those stalwart naturalists who care to take a peak. A bastion state where 78 species of threatened and endangered animals find safe haven. Along the way we will learn how the 5 geophysiographic provinces make it all happen. This is a must see program for geologists, environmental consultants, and academics looking to further their knowledge of New Jersey’s vast natural landscape’s and how it relates to endemic biodiversity.
