Camden county also, haddonfield. What woods was it, there are strangely still many isolated pops of boxies in camden county... but they are disappearing with all the development.

Underdog do you field herp in south jersey at all? Around gibbsboro use to me great spots for boxies the development around that area is sickening.

I can only encourage both of you to be mindful of the possibility that unscrupulous individuals may be reading your posts: please refrain from revealing specific locations on an open forum!

Both areas mentioned are highly populated areas with little or no public property to poach and really no area to find box turtles with the exception of an acre here and there, if someone wanted to poach these spots they would be highly unsucessful. I agree though, specifics should not be mentioned. Underdog if you want to respond to my post by email it is cjoneill12@comcast.net. Thanks

thanks for your concern she was saying this from a stalking point of veiw who knows what kind of people are out there... i just wanted to get this across to the public my town is very under developed it was built this way to keep the town small and quite and i have two very large masses of land just for woods that i know of in my town it was set aside and protected by the government so knobs cant build bussiness area or housing developement so thats why 99.9 percent of the people that i talk to dont know about my town if there not from the area. i like it this way it bring me great environmental insiration
i used to be heavily involved with The New Jersey Herpetile Atlas, headed by the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife's Endangered & Nongame Species Program (ENSP), Thanks
