Both PDF and PPT presentations. Do not hesitate to zap me a note on any issues, edits and other concerns. This ERI is a snap-shot of a 15 acre tide-water island at the apex of NJ’s 360 square mile Rancocas Creek watershed.

Hainesport to the South; Westampton, the Rancocas Nature Center to the North; to the East, Burlington County Long Bridge County Park, Timbuctoo, Mount Holly, the head of navigation. To the West, Rancocas State Park.

A fine tip-of-hat thanks to the multitude of local residents, historical society’s, contrarian’s and others for unpeeling, unraveling and stitching together that which is hidden before our very eyes. Paddle on down.

The ERI of Cast Away Island is meant to enhance awareness of a 15 acre tucked away and isolated from people island on the North Branch of the Rancocas Creek, New Jersey. Do not hesitate to contact Pathways with any issues, concerns and suggestions. Further seasonal updates will be published.

Correction required on who was here first. Native Americans were here after dinosaurs.

Releasing the ERI of Cast Away Island on Earth Day draws attention, person to person, to the protection, preservation and restoration of New Jersey’s wild natural resources, our waterways, our tidewater areas, our heritage and our community. This while promoting year-round multi-use public access.

Access to Cast Away Island requires written permission from Rancocas Pathways. Details will be posted

A fine tip of the hat to folks who opened their closets and family backgrounds to set the foundation of the ERI.

Students engaging with environmental sciences, tides, ecology, water resource management, migration, clean water. Lots of smiles and bantering. All were chilled out, relaxing…
