Belleplain State Forest

Belleplain State Forest is a 21,320-acre (86.3 km2) New Jersey State Forest in northern Cape May County and eastern Cumberland County. It has many young pine, oak and Atlantic white cedar trees, having better soil than the northern Pine Barrens. It was established in 1928 and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) set up camps in 1933, and converted Meisle Cranberry Bog into Lake Nummy, and constructed the original forest headquarters, maintenance building, a road system, bridges, and dams. The forest includes recreational facilities for picnicking, boating, camping, hunting and fishing, swimming, and over 40 miles (64 km) of walking trails. A fee is charged for camping and picnicking. On June 7, 2002, the Green Acres Program added 230 acres (0.93 km2) of privately owned land to Belleplain. Donated by the Brewer family, the property comprises approximately 200 acres (0.81 km2) of woodlands - including Atlantic white cedar trees - surrounding 30-acre (0.12 km2) Cedar Lake (also known as Hands Mill Pond) on West Creek in Maurice River Township, Cumberland County. Former Lynyrd Skynyrd Guitarist Ed King resided on a Property within the Forest. Fauna Belleplain is an important bird area, and a reliable hotspot for Prothonotary warblers and Worm-eating Warblers among other avian species. If you are lucky, you catch a glimpse of an otter in Lake Nummy, or see or find signs of deer, beaver, foxes, coyotes, and even red squirrels. Trails Visitors to the park can request a trail map at the headquarters building located at the entrance to the park from Route 550. The park features paved roads and dirt and gravel roads suitable for cars, bikes, and horses. Other trails are only for hikers and walkers.

New Bridge Medical Center

Bergen New Bridge Medical Center (previously known as Bergen Regional Medical Center) is an acute and long-term care hospital located in Paramus, New Jersey, US. With 939 beds, it is the largest hospital in the state and fourth largest publicly owned hospital in the United States of America. The hospital campus also houses a nursing home and a mental health facility. It has been ranked a top hospital by Jersey's Best Magazine using rankings from Castle Connolly Medical. History The facility first opened in 1916 as the Bergen County Isolation Hospital, housing patients with tuberculosis and other contagious diseases. It later became known as Bergen Pines, inspired by the planting of more than 1,000 young pine trees donated in 1924 by Hackensack's Pioneer Masonic Lodge. It continued to be an isolation hospital for 8 years. Its first superintendent was Joseph Morrow, a native of Arkansas who spearheaded its organization and helped grow the hospital into one of the finest facilities of its kind in the country. In 1966, the hospital was reported to host pastoral visits from Lutheran, Methodist, and Baptist clergy sponsored by the Bergen County Council of Churches. In 1998, Bergen County transferred the hospital to the Bergen County Improvement Authority, which privatized it by leasing the facility to the Solomon Health Group, forming Bergen Regional Medical Center. In 2005, the county and Solomon Health Group were sued by Citizen Action which alleged $33 million in loans from the county to the company were misused. In 2017, the hospital transitioned to being run as a nonprofit as Care Plus Bergen in conjunction with Rutgers NJMS. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Army Corps of Engineers built two facilities totaling 13,450-square-foot on the campus to expand capacity as Bergen County was one of the hardest hit in the United States. The facilities were later used as a vaccination center. References External links Official website

Bethany Baptist Church (Newark, New Jersey)

Bethany Baptist Church is a historic church at 117 W. Market Street in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, United States. The church traces its origins to 1870, when a group of African Americans established the church on Broad Street in Newark in the building of the Peddie Memorial Baptist Church. Under the leadership of the Reverend Ebenezer Bird, who had come from Virginia to lead the congregation of about 26 members, the group was officially sanctioned as a church by the Council of Baptist Churches in June 1871. Thus, the church prides itself on being the "first Baptist congregation founded by people of African descent." The Romanesque style church building was constructed in 1866. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. The church was under the stewardship of M. William Howard, Jr., from 2000 to 2015. The old building appears to have been replaced by a housing complex, which has been replaced by a new building at 275 W. Market Street. The new building was dedicated on May 2, 1976.

Betty and Milton Katz Jewish Community Center

The Betty and Milton Katz Jewish Community Center (locally known as the Katz JCC, the JCC, or "the J") is a Jewish Community Center located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. History Founded in the 1940s, the Jewish Community Center originally had its facilities in both Camden and Pennsauken, New Jersey. As the facilities grew over time, so did the services that were offered. A new JCC building opened in 1997 on the Weinberg Campus in Cherry Hill, at the corner of Springdale and Kresson Roads (across from Temple Emanuel). The need for a new JCC was in response to the significant population growth that Cherry Hill has experienced since the 1970s. Several Jewish cultural and educational programs, along with child, teen and adult programs are held at the JCC. In 1942, the JCC Camps at Medford was established. Operated by the Katz JCC, the camp consists of 120 acres and is the largest Jewish day camp in North America. Philanthropist Lewis Katz named the center in memory of his parents.

Bloomfield Cemetery

Bloomfield Cemetery, designated a New Jersey Historic Site, is located at 383 Belleville Avenue, Bloomfield in Essex County, New Jersey. Bloomfield Cemetery is one of New Jersey’s most significant rural cemeteries, and the only such landscape to be designed by Alexander Jackson Davis, one of America’s most important Victorian architects. Like nearby Mount Pleasant Cemetery (in Newark), it contains the graves of numerous individuals, families and social groups that were important to the history of Essex County and New Jersey as a whole. Parts of the landscape are recognizable as examples of picturesque cemetery design, and many 19th century markers evince characteristics of funerary art common during the Rural Cemetery Movement (c. 1840–1880). Noteworthy interments The Presbyterian Church burial ground in Bloomfield was a resting place for many veterans of the Revolutionary war, as might be expected for an Essex County town that had a significant 18th century population. Many names belong to the prominent families that helped to found Bloomfield, including members of the Dodd, Davis, Baldwin and Ward clans. Officers interred in the “Old Ground” included Captain Isaac Harrison (1757–1823) in Lots 22 and 23, Captain Jesse Baldwin (1754–1805) in Lot 51, Captain William Crane (1757–1832) in Lot 112, and Captain John Collins (1754–1806) in Lot 64. Others among the 32 marked burials were generally enlisted men. Moreover, the cemetery also has a large number of Civil War veterans from the town, many marked with elaborate symbols of valor and patriotism. More importantly, Bloomfield Cemetery contains the remains of a large number of political, cultural and civic leaders who contributed to the growth of the nation over a period of three centuries. These include Hank Borowy (1916–2004), Major League Baseball All-Star pitcher who played for the New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs, Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates and Detroit Tigers. Randolph Bourne (1886–1918), a journalist and critic William Batchelder Bradbury (1816–1868), composer of numerous hymns, including Just As I Am and Jesus Loves Me. Thomas Cadmus (1736–1821), businessman, Revolutionary War officer and community leader. A. J. Davis (1803–1892), architect. Marguerite Dunlap (1887–1959), opera singer Charles Warren Eaton (1857–1937), artist Franklin W. Fort (1880–1937), represented New Jersey's 9th congressional district from 1925 to 1931. John Franklin Fort (1852–1920), Republican Governor of New Jersey from 1908 to 1911. Charles Griffes (1884–1920), composer. James N.

Blue Hole (New Jersey)

The Blue Hole is located in the Pinelands of Monroe Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey and Winslow Township, Camden County, New Jersey. It is a clear blue body of water situated in the middle of a dense forest, with many similar such lakes in its immediate vicinity. The water has warm and cold spots, averaging 58 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The lake's color is unusual, as most lakes and ponds in the area are brownish due to large deposits of bog iron and the presence of tannic acid. The Blue Hole is circular and about 70 feet (21 m) across. In the 1930s, the Blue Hole was a popular party and swimming spot. A wooden footbridge over the Great Egg Harbor River that once made the Hole easily accessible was wiped out by a storm in the 1960s; now it can only be reached on foot. The Blue Hole has been largely abandoned. There are many other 'blue holes' in the immediate vicinity, as well as quicksand and other seasonal ponds and lakes that form from springs seeping from high water table levels. The Blue Hole is not to be confused with the numerous former quarries in the area, which are much larger and have a vibrant sky blue color. At its deepest point, the Blue Hole is 100 feet (30 m) deep. The bottom appears to consist of sand rather than mud. Swimming and diving in the Blue Hole are both illegal, but rarely enforced. It remains a popular swimming spot during the summer. In popular culture A number of legends exist about Blue Hole, such that it is bottomless with powerful currents, that the water is freezing cold year-round, and that the Jersey Devil is active in the area. Jersey Odysseys: Legend of the Blue Hole is a short horror film directed and written by James Rolfe.

Boardwalk Chapel

Boardwalk Chapel (formally, "The Boardwalk Chapel") is a summertime Christian Gospel outreach on the two-mile boardwalk on the barrier island of The Wildwoods, New Jersey which holds 77 consecutive evening services during June, July, and August, open to boardwalkers. In the early 1940s Rev. Leslie Dunn, pastor of Calvary Orthodox Presbyterian Church, Wildwood, New Jersey, walked up and down the boardwalk of The Wildwoods conducting open-air preaching services. He discovered an empty lot towards the southern end of the boardwalk that was to be sold at a citywide tax auction. He persuaded fellow church members to allow him to bid, but no more than US$3,000; Dunn was the highest bidder at $2,950. The Gospel Pavilion, its original name, had been built during the waning months of World War II. Nightly services began in July 1945, a few weeks before Japan's surrender. Since its inception the Chapel has been operated by the Presbytery of New Jersey of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. Its hand-drawn logo depicts the Christian cross rising out of an Atlantic Ocean wave. Over the years, the chapel has become a landmark for tourists visiting Wildwood. In 2005 a Washington Post travel article said "People come to Wildwood for its beaches ... and for the boardwalk, a roughly three-mile-long human circus of noise, junk food and amusement rides. The boardwalk—part honky-tonk, part family playground—has a few quirks that give it an endearing quality. The ... Boardwalk Chapel, between a tattoo parlor and a pizza parlor, has been the voice in the carny wilderness for 61 years."

Heislerville Wildlife Management Area

Heislerville Wildlife Management Area is a Wildlife Management Area located in the unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) of Heislerville that is part of Maurice River Township in Cumberland County in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The Maurice River makes up the western boundary of the Wildlife Management Area as it empties into the Delaware Bay; bayshore areas are East Point and Thompson's Beach, now flooded by the state of New Jersey for use as a bird watch conservatory. The East Point Lighthouse was built in 1849, located on the northern side of Delaware Bay at the mouth of the circuitous Maurice River. The lighthouse is open a few days every year. The beach adjacent to the lighthouse has suffered from serious erosion with the Army Corps of Engineers installing geotubes to protect the lighthouse from storm surges and flooding. Activities There are two impoundments along Matt's Landing road. The northern impoundment is kept flooded and is a popular place for fishing and crabbing for blue claw crab. There are two islands in the north impoundment, one that serves as a rookery for double-crested cormorant. The southern impoundment is managed to provide habitat for shorebird migration and is a wonderful place to see a wide variety of avian species. This impoundment is also popular with crabbers. It is separated from a tidally influenced salt marsh by a dike that is walkable, but only a portion is accessible by motor vehicle. A third impoundment, east of the second, is connected to the latter by a dirt road suitable for driving, walking and cycling. This impoundment is connected to the salt marsh and is influenced by the tides. It's a reliable spot for viewing waterfowl and crabbing. Fauna Bald eagles, waterfowl and gulls can be observed year-round. From April through September Heislerville is a reliable place for a number of avian species. Osprey who nest throughout the WMA, are abundant. Other common raptors include red-tailed hawk, turkey vultures and northern harriers. Peeps and waders can be found in the second impoundment, located south of Matt's landing road. Species such as semipalmated sandpiper, least sandpiper, killdeer, semipalmated plover, willet, greater yellowlegs, lesser yellowlegs, Forster's tern, least tern, short-billed dowitcher, ruddy turnstone, dunlin, black-bellied plover, black skimmer, great blue heron, snowy egret, great egret, glossy ibis, Canada goose and mute swan are reliably found at Heislerville, particularly near the impoundments. Some bird species like clapper rails are often heard, but not seen. Red-winged blackbird, boat-tailed grackle, fish crow, and a variety of warblers and other songbirds can be seen throughout Heisllerville. Diamondback terrapin can be seen in the Maurice River and Delaware Bay. In the spring, the horseshoe crabs spawn in the Delaware bay and many can be seen on the beach near the lighthouse where shorebirds, including the red knot rely on their eggs as a food source.
