The New Jersey Pinelands Commission will again hear an application from the state Forest Fire Service to clear cut 16 acres in the historic Civilian Conservation Corps white pine plantation of Bass River State Forest to restore visibility for the nearby fire spotter tower.

The final opportunity for public comment will occur at the Friday, March 8 commission meeting. Written comments will be accepted until 5 p.m. that day or the close of the commission meeting, whichever is later.
