SUMMARY:Vernal Pool Exploration Hike
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT! \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\, better known as vernal pools\, provide a perfect opportunity to learn more about Mother Nature here in New Jersey. But hurry! They disappear quickly. \nGSWA’s 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 on a few unassuming puddles of water on the forest floor. \nWarm clothing and waterproof footwear — especially hiking boots — are very strongly recommended for this hike. Registration required. Register online or by calling 973-538-3500.

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.)
