SUMMARY:Workshop: Autumn Crafting with Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:Native plants not only provide critical food and habitats for our birds and woodland animals\, but they can also bring a pop of color and décor to your living room or porch for the holidays too! All too often invasive plants such as oriental bittersweet are selected for decorative purposes and they can then spread their berries and seeds\, increasing their reach even further!

SUMMARY:Breakfast Briefing: Environmentally Friendly Fertilizer
DESCRIPTION:Fertilizers are a traditional method of replenishing missing nutrients to the soil to enhance the growth of plants and trees. However\, commonly used synthetic fertilizers are causing more harm than good. Not only are synthetic fertilizers dangerous to the health of our children and pets\, their use has serious environmental repercussions. \nJoin us as we discuss the far reaching and long lasting effects that synthetic fertilizers are having on our environment with Anthony Sblendorio\, Founder of Back to Nature Home & Garden in Basking Ridge\, NJ. As a nationally recognized social entrepreneur and one of the pioneers of sustainable and regenerative design in NJ\, Mr. Sblendorio and Back to Nature are committed to the eradication of synthetic fertilizer use. \nAs a show of this commitment\, Mr. Sblendorio invites each attendee to bring a bag of synthetic fertilizer that they’re currently using in their garden and to exchange it for a bag organic fertilizer for free. (One bag for each attendee of this program.)

SUMMARY:Volunteer Stream Restoration
DESCRIPTION:GSWA is looking for volunteers ages 15 and up to help remove invasive plants and re-plant native trees and shrubs around Loantaka Brook Reservation’s Kitchell Pond. \nOur volunteer team will improve a strip of vegetation (also known as a vegetated buffer) around the pond that reduces the amount of pollution-laden stormwater flowing into it and helps stem the tide of erosion in the area. Since Loantaka Brook runs into and out of Kitchell Pond\, the buffer also improves the health of water running downstream into the Great Swamp and the Passaic River. All tools and supplies will be provided. \nTo register\, please contact Sandra LaVigne at Sandral@greatswamp.org or 973-538-3500. \n  \n

SUMMARY:New Jersey’s Aging Water Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:There is a long-standing problem of water infrastructure management in New Jersey.  Water supply\, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure systems have not received adequate investment for decades in most parts of the state.  Many of our existing pipelines were put in place during two growth spurts – the city-building era of 1890-1930 and the suburban growth boom of 1950-1970. These pipes are aging to the point of frequent failure.  Treatment plants were built or upgraded more recently\, in response to the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act of the 1970s\, but are also aging and will need significant investment.  Dr. Van Abs will discuss the coming collision between the public interest in sound water infrastructure and the public’s interest in low costs. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Spring Begins Hike
DESCRIPTION:There’s no better way to celebrate the first day of spring than to get outside and explore. Join GSWA’s Dan Ross as he guides you in identifying the first signs of spring – skunk cabbages peaking through the snow\, new buds forming on trees\, and spring migrants returning from their winter destinations. Although it may feel as though winter will be with us forever\, these signs of spring will be sure to brighten your day. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Build Your Own Rain Barrel Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Why should you get a rain barrel? Use a barrel to capture and store the rain running through your home’s downspout and you’ll routinely have 55 gallons of free water to use around your property. Your barrel will also help slow the flow of stormwater running through your neighborhood and entering local streams. This helps to reduce flooding and water pollution. Sounds like a good idea\, right? \nGSWA and Green Mojo Eco Consulting will help you build your own water-saving rain barrel. Using a recycled\, food-grade barrel and a spigot adapter kit\, we will walk you through the simple construction process. Each registered participant will leave with the workshop with their very own handcrafted rain barrel that is ready to be hooked up to a household downspout. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Frog Watch Training
DESCRIPTION:Do you know your spring peepers from your wood frogs? What does a leopard frog sound like and can they be found in your neighborhood? Join GSWA and Tedor Whitman of Cora Hartshorn Arboretum for this hands-on training session to become an official FrogWatch volunteer. FrogWatch is a citizen science program that uses volunteer’s observations to create a database of frog and toad sightings\, helping to establish long-term and large-scale data on amphibian populations. During the training\, you’ll learn how to recognize different species of frogs and toads from their appearance and calls\, and how to record your observations into the database. We will work with you to select places around the region to monitor and you will be frog counting in no time! Registration required. Register online at GreatSwamp.org or call (973) 538-3500 x 22. \n\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Evening Briefing: Afloat on New Jersey’s Passaic River
DESCRIPTION:A native of North Arlington\, author Mary Bruno wanted to understand why her hometown river\, the Passaic\, has such a bad reputation. Working with experienced guides\, she kayaked its entire length to witness all the rivers virtues and problems for herself. \nThe trip inspired her to write An American River: From Paradise to Superfund\, Afloat on New Jersey’s Passaic River. Part natural history\, part personal history\, and part rollicking adventure\, the memoir invites readers to lose themselves in the Passaic’s storied (and often sordid) past. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Moonlit Owl Prowl
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. \nThe Great Swamp Wildlife Observation Center 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. Register online. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Evening Briefing: The Flavor of the Wild
DESCRIPTION:We’ve all heard “Take only photographs\, leave only footprints”. A noble sentiment\, but it limits our interaction with wild plants to a visual one only\, if that. Using wild plants as food and medicine helps us experience plants with our other senses and makes more permeable the boundary between us and the rest of the natural world. \nLearn about the cultural uses of native plants with Jared Rosenbaum\, proprietor of Wild Ridge Plants\, LLC. Jared will cover native spices\, greens\, fruits\, and herbal medicines\, including wild leek\, Solomon’s seal\, wood nettle\, elderberry and others. \n  \n  \n
