Bass River State Forest is one of New Jersey's environmental wonders by sheer size alone, encompassing over 26,000 acres of forested land straddling Ocean and Burlington counties, along with a lake, streams, campgrounds, hiking trails and the remnants of a Civilian Conservation Corps camp from the 1930s. In response to a proposed upgrade of a utility line running along one of the forest's borders, the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office required the completion of a cultural landscape survey to mitigate its effects. Consequently, Gregory served as the project manager and principal investigator on the Bass River State Forest Cultural Landscape Survey, entailing the identification, analysis and documentation of all cultural (man-made) resources within the sprawling state forest. Funded by the utility company and created for the forest's stewards, this report offers a framework for future planning initiatives as it relates to both its preservation and redevelopment.
