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: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: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: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.
