SUMMARY:GSWA Source-to-Sea Virtual Challenge: 80-mile Run/Walk/Bike/Roll
DESCRIPTION:Ready for a virtual challenge? Here we go! Register to run/walk/bike/roll 80 miles\, the length of the Passaic River\, from anywhere in the world. You will have 65 days to complete this challenge at your own pace. To give you an idea of how it works\, doing an activity every day of the challenge equates to ~1.2 miles per day for 65 days – piece of crumb cake! (Which you will have earned with your daily activity.) \nRegistration takes place on a website called “RunSignup” where you can follow your progress on an interactive map. Every time you enter your mileage from your recent activity\, the system calculates your total mileage and updates your location so you can see “where you are” virtually on your journey along the Passaic River. Every 10-mile milestone you achieve\, you will learn interesting facts about your “current location” and the importance of this wonderful resource\, the Passaic River. \n  \n \n(RunSignup is a 3rd party website managing registration on behalf of GSWA.) \n  \nThis fundraising event is open to anyone using anything powered by you to complete the challenge! Remember\, this is not a race\, it’s a challenge to keep you active and help you accomplish an impressive goal. The $35 registration fee includes a fun\, commemorative t-shirt. Additionally\, all who complete the challenge within the 65-day time period will receive a complimentary ticket to GSWA’s 5th Annual Great Swamp Great Music Festival (a $30 value) taking place on Sunday\, May 22 @ Giralda Farms Preserve in Chatham Twp.\, NJ. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Signs of Spring Hike @ the Refuge
DESCRIPTION:Step outside for this relaxing\, family-friendly\, guided tour of the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge’s Orange Trail. Enjoy a Spring preview in the great outdoors – the red-winged blackbirds and eastern phoebes are the first to get the memo that it’s time to return and start nesting\, while woodpeckers and spring peepers make their presence known more by sound than by sight. Some of our forest critters will also be scampering about. We will catch witch hazel in bloom\, skunk cabbage beginning to emerge\, and depending on our winter\, the pussy willow may be bursting its buds. Additionally\, non-native plants like crocuses and snowdrops will be starting to bloom. These are all indicators that Spring is on the way. This trail can get super wet/muddy\, so muck boots/wellies are recommended. The full hike will be under two miles. GSWA members: Free\, non-members: donation appreciated. \n  \nWe will meet at the end of Meyersville Rd\, Green Village (83 Meyersville Rd is the closest street address). \nClick HERE to view the map.  Coordinates: 40.726674\, -74.457729

SUMMARY:REGISTRATION CLOSED: Vernal Pool Exploration Hike
DESCRIPTION:This event has reached max capacity.  \nTo be placed on a waitlist\, or if you have registered and are unable to attend\, please email NRago@GreatSwamp.org.  \n  \nWith temperatures rising\, the forest floor will be hopping with new life as frogs and other amphibians crowd into shallow puddles of water to breed and lay their eggs. These puddles\, called vernal pools\, provide a perfect opportunity to learn more about Mother Nature here in New Jersey. But we have to hurry! They disappear quickly. This annual Vernal Pool Exploration provides a fun\, outdoor learning experience for kids and adults alike. Discover the differences between a spring peeper\, a chorus frog\, and a wood frog. Find out how far an endangered spotted salamander will walk to find a mating pool. And\, learn how much everything we have come to appreciate about the springtime depends upon a few unassuming puddles of water on the forest floor. Warm clothing and waterproof footwear\, especially hiking boots\, are strongly recommended. GSWA members: Free\, non-members: $10 for adults\, $5 for children ages 6-17. Register at GreatSwamp.org or call 973-538-3500. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Hike the Path of a Glacier
DESCRIPTION:Looking for a more challenging hike? Spend the afternoon with us for a unique experience where we will hike the path of a glacier and observe some unusual glacial erratics (stones and rocks that were transported by the glacier and then left behind after the glacier melted). Along with way we will stop to check out Tripod Rock\, a 180-ton boulder balanced on three smaller boulders. It’s truly a sight to behold. A little further on we will see Bear Rock\, one of NJs largest glacial erratics\, along other fascinating signs of the Wisconsin Glacier that retreated over 18\,000 years ago. \nThis is an intermediate hike with some rigorous conditions. Be sure to pack your binoculars\, water\, and snacks. \nLocation Coordinates:  40.94671186514669\, -74.38827526886288
