SUMMARY:Plant for Pollinators Webinar #3: The Secret Lives of Wild Bees
DESCRIPTION:The Secret Lives of Wild Bees with Nick Dorian \nYou’ve probably heard “Save The Bees\,” but do you know which bees need saving? Join us for an in-depth look at the many native\, non-colony forming bees which native plants can help attract! Over 4000 species of bees inhabit North America\, and most don’t live in hives or make honey. In fact\, wild bees come in every size\, shape\, and color you can imagine\, and they live all around us\, hiding in plain sight. Dr. Dorian will introduce you to the wild bees of New England. We’ll examine their varied lifestyles\, habitat needs\, and the intricate relationships they have with native flowering plants and other insects. Come away with clear action items for how to appreciate\, and help these important pollinators in your yards. \nPlease consider a $10 donation for each webinar you attend. Your gift helps us continue improving the quality\, diversity\, and draw of the speakers we provide and covers the increased program costs of securing our them and their information-packed presentations. \n\nThis is the third of four monthly webinars for our highly anticipated annual Plant for Pollinators program. \nRegister for all four of the four-part webinar series here!

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT: Vernal Pool Exploration Hike
DESCRIPTION:This event is sold out. If you would like to be added to the waitlist\, or if you need to cancel\, please email ifilippini@greatswamp.org  \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.

This 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 upon a few unassuming puddles of water on the forest floor. \nWarm clothing and waterproof footwear\, especially hiking boots\, are strongly recommended. \n\nPlease email Izzy ifilippini@greatswamp.org with questions or cancellations. \nCANCELLATION POLICY: Great Swamp Watershed Association (GSWA) makes every effort to assure all programs and events go off as planned.

SUMMARY:Stream Assessment Training - FREE
DESCRIPTION:Note: We will meet in Garibaldi Hall \nUnless there’s obvious pollution in the river or stream\, to the untrained eye\, the water may look healthy. But is it? This free training session\, led by Sandra LaVigne\, GSWA Director of Water Quality Programs\, will provide you with all the necessary skills to make your own determinations. An indoor classroom session teaches you how to conduct visual and biological stream assessments\, identify macroinvertebrates\, and recognize environmental factors that could impact stream health. An outdoor session lets you practice your new-found skills at a local stream site. By afternoon\, you will be fully trained in visual and biological stream assessment. And if you are ready to take that next step\, consider becoming a stream monitoring volunteer! \nTools and supplies will be provided. It gets a little messy so wear your boots and bring clean shoes to change into afterward. Preferred volunteers are 15 or older. \nThis free training session is held in conjunction with the AmeriCorps New Jersey Watershed Ambassador Program.

SUMMARY:Breakfast Briefing: Honey Bee Health & Nutrition
DESCRIPTION:Start your morning with purpose at our next Breakfast Briefing\, featuring Jim Muchmore—Honey Bee Ambassador\, beekeeper\, and steward of Muchy’s Bee Farm. As an active member of the Morris and Somerset County Beekeepers Association (mscbees.org)\, Jim is deeply committed to reversing the alarming decline of honey bee populations and\, in particular\, preventing the spread of harmful pathogens to our vital native bee species. \nHoney bees are under stress. From pests and pathogens to pesticides and\, increasingly poor nutrition\, multiple threats are weakening colonies and putting essential pollination services at risk. In this engaging presentation\, Jim will take us behind the scenes of modern beekeeping\, highlighting how dedicated beekeepers help sustain healthy hives—and how those efforts ripple across entire ecosystems. \nEnjoy a light breakfast prior to the start of the presentation.\nGet tickets below: GSWA Members: Free | Non-members: $10 (Adult)\, $5 (Child). \nAbout the Presenter: More than ten years ago\, Dr. James Muchmore turned a lifelong interest into action\, beginning his beekeeping journey with just two hives. Facing the challenges of overwintering bees\, he gradually grew his apiary and\, after several seasons of success\, now plans to manage ten hives. \nBefore focusing on bees\, Dr. Muchmore worked in cancer research\, specializing in drug resistance and clinical nutrition. Drawing on this scientific background\, he now collaborates with local and regional beekeeping communities to address one of the most pressing issues facing bees today: nutrition. \nBees rely on a diverse\, nutrient-rich diet of pollen and nectar to stay healthy. When floral resources are scarce\, colonies suffer. That’s why Jim champions GSWA’s Plant for Pollinators initiative. Thanks to our community of dedicated participants\, native plantings are on the rise throughout our region—supporting not only pollinator bees\, but also butterflies\, birds\, and the broader web of life that depends on native nectar sources. \n\n\nPlease email Izzy ifilippini@greatswamp.org with questions or cancellations. \nCANCELLATION POLICY: Great Swamp Watershed Association (GSWA) makes every effort to assure all programs and events go off as planned. Should an event be cancelled due to severe weather or other unexpected reasons\, GSWA will promptly notify all registrants via email and the event page will reflect the status. To accommodate people on the waitlist\, participants needing to cancel should do so ASAP. Cancellations made less than 48 hours in advance will not be refunded unless it is due to a health emergency.

SUMMARY:Breakfast Briefing: Microplastics 5 Years Later
DESCRIPTION:It’s been 7 years since GSWA conducted our first microplastics sampling study and 5 years since New Jersey passed the “Get Past Plastics” legislation aimed at reducing our reliance on single-use plastics. Are you curious if it’s made an impact? We certainly were\, so we gathered our team and re-sampled the same 10 sites from our 2018 study. \nJoin Sandra LaVigne\, GSWA’s Director of Water Quality Programs\, as she reveals the findings of our 2025 microplastics sampling study\, shedding light on what effects\, if any\, these plastic reduction laws have made in our local water. Sandra will also offer practical solutions for all of us to consider adopting to help keep our waterways clean. \nEnjoy a light breakfast prior to the start of the presentation.\nGet tickets below: GSWA Members: Free | Non-members: $10 (Adult)\, $5 (Child). \nAbout the Presenter: Sandra LaVigne joined the staff in March of 2016. Prior to joining GSWA she worked as a water quality specialist and restoration ecologist managing water quality programs and restoration projects. Sandra is a native of northern New Jersey and attended Cook College\, Rutgers University. Sandra oversees our water quality monitoring efforts and organizes our citizen science volunteers who assist in collecting a wide scope of data throughout the watershed. In 2019\, Sandra established and implemented GSWA’s first-ever microplastics sampling protocol and integrated it into her water quality monitoring program. \n\n\nPlease email Izzy (ifilippini@greatswamp.org) with questions or cancellations.

SUMMARY:Nature Detectives Hike
DESCRIPTION:What’s hiding on the forest floor? What’s going on in the trees? Let’s do some detective work and make some discoveries together! \nThe Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is the perfect place to learn how to identify animals from their tracks\, scats (yes\, poop) and other clues. Spy on secret hideouts used by birds\, insects\, and other woodland creatures. Discover the dining preferences of deer\, raccoons\, and even coyotes by putting a magnifying glass to some scat. All this detective work is easier than you think. And let’s face it\, it’s fun being outdoors in the summer! \nRecommended for all\, but especially children 5 to 12 years old accompanied by an adult. We will meet at the head of the Orange Trail at the end of Meyersville Rd.\, Green Village. The lot is small\, so please consider carpooling and be mindful when parking. \nThis event is free for our GSWA members. For non-members\, a suggested $10 donation for adults and $5 for children 6-17 is appreciated.
