SUMMARY:Full Flower Moon Hike at Great Swamp NWR
DESCRIPTION:Do you know why May’s full moon is called the Full Flower Moon? With spring in full swing and flowers bursting out all over\, it’s not too hard to guess! \nThis is an amazing time of year at NJ’s Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. Fully awake after a long winter’s nap\, the wetlands along the boardwalks are positively teeming with wildlife and the new green of trees\, marsh grasses\, and water lilies. \nIt’s easy to connect with the Refuge’s many natural wonders during the day\, but to experience them at night\, with a full moon rising over the horizon and animal activity at its peak\, is something casual visitors rarely get to see. \nFortunately\, the Great Swamp Watershed Association has a special-use permit that allows us to enter the Refuge at night. And that means we can share the priviledge with you! \nYou\, your family\, and friends are invited to join naturalist Hazel England — GSWA’s director of education and outreach — for a special full-moon hike at the Refuge’s Wildlife Observation Center off Long Hill Road in Harding Township. \nHazel will re-acquaint you with your night senses so you can hear\, smell\, and even see things that escape you attention during the day. You’ll also learn more about nocturnal wildlife and the sounds they make as the sun goes down. \nInterested adults and families with children are encouraged attend.

SUMMARY:Water Quality Report Card for the Great Swamp Watershed
DESCRIPTION:Laura Kelm\, director of water quality programs at the Great Swamp Watershed Association\, wraps up the Spring 2015 Breakfast Briefing Series by introducing the organization brand new watershed report card program. The new program is designed to provide members of the public with an annual update on the quality of water in the five major streams feeding the Great Swamp and the Passaic River. \nThis is a special Saturday morning briefing beginning at 10 a.m. A continental breakfast will be served. \nBackground\nIn 2013\, the Great Swamp Watershed Association published State of the Streams in the Great Swamp Watershed\, a comprehensive report that assembled and analyzed chemical\, visual\, and biological water quality data collected over the course of a decade from the five main streams feeding the Great Swamp and the Passaic River. \nRequiring months of labor by GSWA staff and volunteers\, the project continues to inform our understanding of the changes our watershed has experienced\, and how the organization can continue building and reporting on its growing database of scientific observations. \nBased on the success of State of the Streams\, GSWA has developed a new Water Quality Report Card program for the Great Swamp region. Issued annually\, the report card will serve as a barometer of watershed health\, and help the public keep abreast of emerging issues related to water pollution\, land use\, and water protection. \nThe first Water Quality Report Card will be issued in May 2015\, and GSWA’s Director of Water Quality Programs Laura Kelm will summarize its finding at a public presentation on Saturday\, May 30. \nPlanned for This Briefing\nGSWA Director of Water Quality Programs Laura Kelm will provide an in-depth look at the Great Swamp Watershed’s first Water Quality Report Card for the Great Swamp Watershed region. The presentation will include an overview of the report card rationale and the measurements used to determine grades for each of the watershed’s five major streams.
