"State of the Swamp" Presentations Offered GSWA members and friends are invited to join executive director Julia Somers and photographer/GSWA volunteer Blaine Rothauser as they offer "State of the Swamp" presentations to two local environmental groups in September and October. On Wednesday, September 13, at 7:30 pm, the GSWA team will be the guests of the Sierra Club's New Jersey Chapter-Loantaka Branch. The meeting will be held in the Library of the Chathams, on Main Street, Chatham Borough. On Thursday, October 19, at 7:45 pm, members of the Summit Nature Club will hear the presentation. The Nature Club, which began its Great Swamp preservation efforts long before the jetport controversy in the early 1960s, will hold its meeting in the Watchung Reservation’s Trailside Nature Center, in Mountainside. The presentations have a dual purpose, according to Somers. "First, we want our friends in these organizations to be aware that though Great Swamp was first 'saved' in the sixties, its future is anything but secure, thanks to continuing land development in the watershed. And second, we'd like to extend an offer of GSWA membership to those who attend, to build support for ongoing GSWA projects and programs." |
