Breakfast Briefing – Environmentally Safe Alternatives to Rock Salt

Got salt? There's more than one way to break the ice!  Before you head out to purchase your snow clearing supplies, come learn about the impacts of traditional rock salt to the environment and its organisms, and some environmentally safe alternatives. Steven Vernik, Vice President of Gaia Enterprises and Director of Operations, Sales, and Marketing, will provide relevant information for homeowners, businesses, and municipal leaders alike. All who attend will leave with some product samples, and a grab-bag of winter necessities generously provided by Long Hill Township. Registration required.

Hike – Taking Inspiration from the Swamp

Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge 220 Long Hill Road, Gillette

Grab your camera, or your art journal for a walk on the wild side- Wildlife Refuge side, that is! We will focus on looking at nature through the lens of art- whether that is a physical lens of a camera, or a metaphorical lens.  Let nature be your muse on on this natural history exploration through the Management Area of the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. We will help spark your imagination to get those creative juices flowing as you practice your art journaling, sketching, and 5-minute inspirations. With your permission, we will display the finished artworks on our website. This is a great way to get in the right mindset for the winter season. We will meet at the Bluebird Parking Lot (midway between the Refuge Headquarters and the Helen Fenske Visitor center on the right hand side if heading North.) Registration required.
