Before Tanisah Garner s mother passed in 2018, she would travel by bus from Pleasantville to Newark to babysit Garner s daughters. Eventually, her mother began opting to stay overnight in Newark because she couldn t count on NJ Transit buses to be ready to take her back home. My mother would have a hard time coming back and forth to Pleasantville … especially at nighttime, Garner said. So that s the reason why she chose to travel less.
Three years later, public bus reliability has not improved but has been exacerbated by the pandemic. The number of bus drivers and mechanics employed at NJ Transit has decreased, which has led to thousands of canceled bus trips, particularly in southern New Jersey.

LANSING – Along Sycamore Creek, south of Potter Park Zoo, stands a white willow so massive that it s on the National Register of Champion Trees.
With a girth of 389 inches, the whopper willow dwarfs some of the other impressive old trees growing across the region, including a silver maple in Grand Ledge that s nearly 250 inches around and a 111-foot-tall eastern cottonwood in Lansing.
Both are also in the state Big Tree Register maintained by the Michigan Botanical Club, and the Big Tree Hunt contest is one way that scientists find trees like these. There s a lot of scientific value in knowing where these trees are located, said Ashley Laux, project forester for ReLeaf Michigan, an Ann Arbor-based nonprofit that works with communities to plant more trees. They can then be further studied for whether they have some sort of disease resistance or a certain type of genetic makeup that make them more resilient.
Long-ago campaign for trees proved shady in a good way
