SUMMARY:Intro to Rain Gardens on Zoom - FREE
DESCRIPTION:Registration closes at 5 PM on  Thu.\, March 25! – Scroll down for Zoom technical assistance links. \n  \nThinking of adding a rain garden to your yard? Smart choice! A rain garden is a beautiful addition to your landscape that also provides a valuable function. By causing water to absorb slowly into the ground it reduces and sometimes even prevent flooding.

Join us for an in-depth review of the benefits of installing a rain garden at your home and get some basic how-to suggestions. \nAt the end of this program\, Summit and Summit area residents you can also register for a free\, 30-minute consultation scheduled for April 8\, 5-8 PM. Rutgers University engineers and landscape architects will work with you to plan and lay out a rain garden specific to your yard. You will leave with a design plan and a list of recommended plants. You MUST attend the March 25th program to qualify for the April 8 design session. No exceptions. \nTake advantage of these two free Summit Area Rain Garden programs\, co-hosted by GSWA & Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program. Registration is required. You will receive Zoom login details post-registration. \nThis program is sponsored by a grant from The Mary Reinhart Stackhouse Foundation for the purpose of improving Summit area’s water quality\, one yard at a time. \n  \nZoom technical assistance links: \nHaving issues joining the session?

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT: Vernal Pool Exploration
DESCRIPTION:SORRY\, THIS HIKE 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\, called vernal pools\, provide a perfect opportunity to learn more about Mother Nature here in New Jersey. But we have to hurry as they disappear quickly! This annual nighttime 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 springtime depends on  some unassuming puddles of water on the forest floor. Warm clothing and waterproof footwear\, especially hiking boots\, are strongly recommended. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Cook with GSWA: Garlic Mustard Pesto & Beyond
DESCRIPTION:This event has been rescheduled for Monday\, May 24 at 5 pm.  \nLet’s get wild! Join us for a cooking demonstration where we will showcase items we have foraged and then turn them into food. We will talk about the benefits of foraging for edible invasive (non-native) species\, for example\, garlic mustard. Garlic mustard is one of the worst invaders of Northeast and Midwest American forests\, reducing the diversity of all species. April through end of May is garlic mustard season so you will be able to easily find it and make your own pesto. Come learn about these and other types of plants where we can reduce their presence simply by eating them!
