Picking this back up, I wanted to go into how pine barrens fauna deal with events like the #JonesFire. First, the highly mobile animals tend to flee if able. But a lot of organisms end up having to shelter where they can. Which brings us back to the pine trees.

🤝The Offshore Garden Club invited me over in Northfield today to talk drought and planting.
I had a PowerPoint all ready to go. Then, the #JonesFire happened. So, we pivoted to that.
It was a lively group and nice time. 💯 www.cupajoe.live/contact

Wind driven wildfire is always horrific.....but I can't imagine adding a nuclear power plant in the process of being de-commissioned, into the mix.
BREAKING: Flames from the Jones Fire in NJ have now reached buildings on the campus of the shuttered Oyster Creek nuclear power plant.
