SUMMARY:Water Chestnut Pull & Cleanup at Kitchell Pond
DESCRIPTION:Please help us rescue Kitchell Pond! With the use of canoes we will pull water chestnuts from the pond. Prefer to remain on land? You can help rid the banks of other invasive plants and trash. \nWhat is a water chestnut and why are we pulling it? Water chestnuts are invasive aquatic plants that have become a major nuisance in New Jersey’s lakes\, ponds\, and marshes. The plants form thick\, floating mats of vegetation creating a hazard for boaters and other water recreators. These mats also inhibit light penetration into the water which impacts aquatic organisms and can lead to fish kills. Persistent removal of plants via hand-pulling can dramatically reduce a population over time. \nIt takes many hands to make a significant impact\, and we hope you’ll pitch in for this important work. This event is cosponsored by Morris County Park Commission. Registration is requested.

SUMMARY:Moonlit Owl Prowl Hike
DESCRIPTION:Explore New Jersey’s forests at dusk and you just might find yourself in the middle of an interrogation when you hear\, “Who?! Who cooks for you?” But it’s just the barred owl\, who sounds like 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 GSWA’s Hazel England\, and conservation biologist\, Dr. Emile DeVito. The 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.

SUMMARY:Cancelled - Build Your Own Rain Barrel
DESCRIPTION:Our apologies – this workshop has been cancelled. \n  \nWhen it pours\, it stores! Capture the rainwater that runs through your home’s downspout and you’ll always have 55 gallons of free water available for things like watering your garden and washing your car. When the power goes out\, it’s an excellent backup water source for flushing. Using a recycled\, food-grade barrel and a spigot adapter kit\, GSWA and Green Mojo Eco Consulting help you construct your very own rain barrel. \nYou will take your new rain barrel home with you\, and it’ll be ready for hookup to your home’s downspout immediately! Pricing: $90 to assemble\, $110 to purchase outright\, free to observe the workshop. Participants are responsible for transporting barrels home at the end of the workshop. Sorry\, no delivery service available. This is a popular workshop so please register today as space is limited.

SUMMARY:Making Paper with Invasive Plants
DESCRIPTION:When is the last time you made your very own paper? If the answer is anything between never and when I was a kid\, it’s time. Traditional paper comes at the cost of felling millions of trees each year\, and hardly any of this paper is recycled to be reused. Let’s try an alternative solution. Join us for this engaging\, hands-on workshop where we will teach you how to make basic paper out of plant pulp sourced from common backyard invasive plants. If you happen to have some extra garlic mustard or phragmites growing in the backyard\, now you’ll know how to repurpose these invasive plants into decorative paper\, and let the trees breathe a sigh of relief! Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Invasive Plants Identification Hike
DESCRIPTION:What makes a weed a weed? How can you tell your oriental bittersweet from your Japanese barberry and why should you care that you can? Invasive plants are spreading in our forests and open spaces\, and harm the environment as they reduce biodiversity and resources for native wildlife. New Jersey spends millions in labor and resources to remove invasives each year. Join us on a hike through the CMA as we learn to identify New Jersey’s top ten least wanted\, as well as the native species we hope to see! By the end of our hike\, you will be able to identify all of the bad guys- and hopefully understand why honeysuckle isn’t so sweet and how multiflora rose can be such a thorn in the side… literally!

SUMMARY:Discounted Private Water Testing Program: 4/12-5/8
DESCRIPTION:April 12 – May 7: pick up your water sampling kit at the Long Hill Township Library (a $10 deposit is required at that time.) May 8\, 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. drop off your water sample at the same location. (Participants MUST be able to adhere to this drop-off date and time-frame.) \nWhat’s in your water? GSWA is here to help you find out with our popular private water testing program. In exchange for discounted rates\, homeowners agree to let GSWA analyze the outcomes of their tests and create a database of results\, increasing the organization’s understanding of groundwater quality in our region. \n  \n  \nPrivate Well Testing: The test measures several water quality parameters\, including total coliform + E. coli\, nitrates\, manganese\, iron\, arsenic\, copper and lead. The cost for the basic\, multi-parameter test is $125 (this test would normally cost over $300). Test add-ons\, including pesticides\, herbicides\, volatile organic compounds\, mercury\, hardness\, and sodium\, may be purchased for an additional charge. This test cannot be used to satisfy the requirements of a real estate transaction. \nPublic Water Testing: Residents on public water can opt to test as well. The cost is $45. This includes lead\, bacteria\, and pH (regular price is over $85). Test add-ons may be purchased for an additional charge. \nFor more information\, email Sandra LaVigne at slavigne@greatswamp.org or call 973-538-3500

SUMMARY:Vernal Pool Exploration
DESCRIPTION:With 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 we have to 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. \nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:Exploring NJ's Climate Variability & Change
DESCRIPTION:Together\, we all just faced some of the most severe weather we’ve seen in New Jersey since Hurricane Sandy\, causing wide-spread power outages\, thousands of downed trees\, and major structural damage. In less than four weeks\, we went from a stone-cold winter\, to a beautiful\, 80-degree day\, to relentless winds\, to 26-plus inches of snow in some parts of the state. \n  \nIn the past decade\, New Jersey has experienced its wettest and warmest years in over a century of observations. Extreme events of late suggest that something is happening to our climate regime. \n  \nWe’ve asked Dr. David Robinson\, a professor in the Department of Geography & a NJ State Climatologist at Rutgers University\, to help us explore the physical dimensions of the issue\, both short and long term.  Dr. Robinson will also help us learn how we can get more involved in the monitoring of weather and climate conditions in our local regions. \n

SUMMARY: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 home! \nAll too often invasive plants such as oriental bittersweet are selected for decorative purposes but this is just one way how they spread and cause damage to our environment. They are not able to sustain anywhere near the bio-diversity that our native plants can support. By using native plants such as cattails\, sensitive fern fronds\, dried goldenrod and other beautiful native floral items you will learn how to make beautiful arrangements using only native plant materials in this fun workshop and bring home a decorative piece for the holidays.
