Whether you’re new to GSWA or you have some friends you want to introduce to us, this is a great, low-key way to learn more about the organization’s 35-year legacy of environmental stewardship, education, and advocacy in the Great Swamp region. We’ll also tell you things about New Jersey’s Great Swamp that you’ve never heard before! GSWA non-members and members bringing non-member friends are invited to attend this event free of charge. Tickets for GSWA members attending alone or with other GSWA members are $25 each. An anonymous donor has pledged to contribute $25 to GSWA for each new person introduced to the organization at the tasting. The same donor has also pledged to match, dollar-for-dollar, any and all contributions made to GSWA during the event.

Set off in hot pursuit of the region’s most-wanted wintertime wildlife on this nature detective discovery hike at Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. Learn how to identify animals from their tracks, scats and other leave behind clues. Spy on secret hideouts used by birds, wintering insects, and other woodland creatures. Unmask the dining preferences of deer, raccoons, and even coyotes by putting the magnifying glass to some scat. All this detective work is easier than you think, plus its fun being outdoors in the winter! Recommended for all, but especially children 5 to 12 years old. |

Join us for an informative breakfast briefing with GSWA Director of Water Quality, Sandra LaVigne, as she discusses the results of her 2015 stream sampling via the annual Great Swamp Water Quality Report Card. Sandra will also discuss the plans for moving downstream in 2017.
