Natural Resource Policy Analysis: Controversy Over Forest Management at Sparta Mountain Wildlife Management Area
Get PDFNew Jersey contains the densest human population in the United States. As New York City to the east has grown, urban sprawl has reached much of the Garden State. For the natural environment, the impact of this sprawl is significant. The eastern deciduous forest that once covered the northern half of the state has been reduced to select areas where development is restricted. The remaining areas of protected forest are valuable to the public as natural gems amidst a world of modern infrastructure. Most of these protected forests are owned and managed by the state of New Jersey, by the people of New Jersey. Though protected forests are generally viewed positively, they have also created points of tension when managing agencies and stakeholders disagree on best management practices. One area of public land in northern New Jersey has generated a particularly great amount of such tension: Sparta Mountain Wildlife Management Area (SMWMA). This paper will characterize the issues associated with managing land on Sparta Mountain, and will explore policy options for addressing those issues from both sides of the debate

Windsor Castle
Get PDFThis poster and accompanying paper provide a glimpse into the history and architecture of Windsor Castle. A general timeline of construction is explored, as are examples of dominant architectural styles that comprise the Castle, including Gothic, Georgian, and Victorian design. The paper notes that Windsor Castle was extremely important in its medieval context; its location was chosen because of its proximity to the River Thames (a popular route into London in the Middle Ages) and to Windsor Forest, a royal hunting preserve that the Saxon kings had used. Today, the Castle is still in use by the royal family; it is also an enormously popular tourist destination. The paper and poster conclude by discussing some of the highlights of visiting Windsor Castle.

Beauty and Dignity: The Symbol of Westminster Abbey
Get PDFNestled in the heart of London, rising from the bank of the Thames, is the lovely and austere Westminster Abbey. A quintessential example of Gothic architecture and the bearer of much historical significance, Westminster Abbey holds mortality and much collective memory within its walls. In this paper, the Abbey’s unusual history of construction is briefly explored, and the beloved tradition of Poet’s Corner is traced back to its origins in the medieval era.
