SUMMARY:Jockey Hollow Explorers: Natural History Hike
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a late-spring hike with the Great Swamp Watershed Association’s (GSWA) Director of Education & Outreach Hazel England. Hazel will guide you through all of the important landscape features that soldiers in George Washington’s Continental Army would have experienced during the brutal winter of 1779-80. She’ll also tell you about some of the drastic environmental changes wrought throughout the encampment area since colonial times. \nHazel England\, GSWA’s Director of Education & Outreach\, teaches Sara Kuzhikandathil how to hold an eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina). Credit: GSWA/S.

SUMMARY:Full Flower Moon Hike at Great Swamp NWR
DESCRIPTION:Do you know why May’s full moon is called the Full Flower Moon? With spring in full swing and flowers bursting out all over\, it’s not too hard to guess! \nThis is an amazing time of year at NJ’s Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. Fully awake after a long winter’s nap\, the wetlands along the boardwalks are positively teeming with wildlife and the new green of trees\, marsh grasses\, and water lilies. \nIt’s easy to connect with the Refuge’s many natural wonders during the day\, but to experience them at night\, with a full moon rising over the horizon and animal activity at its peak\, is something casual visitors rarely get to see. \nFortunately\, the Great Swamp Watershed Association has a special-use permit that allows us to enter the Refuge at night. And that means we can share the priviledge with you! \nYou\, your family\, and friends are invited to join naturalist Hazel England — GSWA’s director of education and outreach — for a special full-moon hike at the Refuge’s Wildlife Observation Center off Long Hill Road in Harding Township. \nHazel will re-acquaint you with your night senses so you can hear\, smell\, and even see things that escape you attention during the day. You’ll also learn more about nocturnal wildlife and the sounds they make as the sun goes down. \nInterested adults and families with children are encouraged attend.

SUMMARY:Owl Prowl with Emile DeVito and Hazel England
DESCRIPTION:Explore New Jersey’s forests at dusk and you just might find yourself in the middle of an interrogation! Who!? Who cooks for you? The barred owl sounds like an awfully inquisitive bird\, but\, in fact\, it’s just trying to protect its turf. Want to learn more about New Jersey’s owls? Then you don’t want to miss this early-evening hike with conservation biologist Dr. Emile DeVito and GSWA’s own Hazel England. Nestled on acres of upland forest and meadow\, Primrose Farm is prime owl-spotting habitat and a perfect spot for Dr. DeVito to demonstrate his owl-calling expertise. With a little luck\, you might just hear (or even see!) some of these stealthy night flyers as they move in to investigate the mysterious sounds. \nWhat to Bring: Warm clothing (including hats and gloves) and waterproof footwear — especially hiking boots — are very strongly recommended for this hike. Field guides\, binoculars\, and water in reusable containers are welcome. (This is a leave-no-trace event.) \nAbility Level: This is a short out-and-back hike over uneven ground\, and is suitable for almost all ages and ability levels. (Stollers are not recommended.) \nRescheduling & Cancellations: All events are subject to change or cancellation without notice; however\, we always try to contact pre-registered participants via e-mail or telephone when problems arise. In the event of inclement weather\, cancellation and rescheduling notices will be posted to our Event Information Hotline at 973-538-3500 x22. Please note that GSWA’s offices are not staffed on weekends or after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays.
