SUMMARY:Plant for Pollinators Webinar #4: The Extraordinary Caterpillar - Nature’s Tiniest Superhero!
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a special home-screening of The Extraordinary Caterpillar\, a beautifully shot documentary that reveals the vital—and often overlooked—role caterpillars play in our ecosystems.

You’ll also learn simple steps you can take to create habitat in your own yard or community. This is a chance to see nature in a whole new light—and just in time to get the right plants to help bring these amazing creatures to your yards. \nA Q&A session will follow the movie. \nThis event is free; a $10 donation is greatly appreciated to help offset the fees we pay to bring you expert speakers through our Plant for Pollinators program series. \nRegistration closes at 5 PM the day of each webinar. \nImportant — Zoom Link: A Zoom link will be emailed to registrants at 5:00pm the day before the webinar and again by 5:30pm day-of. Please add ifilippini@greatswamp.org to your email contacts to avoid it being sent to your spam folder. \nIf you don’t see it in your inbox or spam folder by 6pm the day of the webinar\, please email ifilippini@greatswamp.org. \nAll registrants will receive the replay link within 2 business days of the end of the webinar to screen the film. This link will expire 30 days after the initial screening.  \n\nMark your calendar: The 2026 Plant for Pollinators sale runs online April 1-21 with pickup at a wide variety of regional locations on May 2-3.

SUMMARY:Stream Assessment Training - FREE
DESCRIPTION:Unless 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.
