Join ANJEC and our guests from Montclair State University’s Traveling HAB Lab. As harmful algal blooms (HABs) increase in frequency, duration, and magnitude worldwide, the health of humans, domestic animals, and wildlife are increasingly threatened by HABs. The Traveling HAB Lab aims to empower residents of New Jersey to protect our aquatic ecosystems and water resources. We also aim to increase awareness of the health risks associated with exposure to HABs and provide knowledge on how to protect yourself, your loved ones, and pets from HABs.
Registration: ANJEC Members: No charge. Non-Members: $15

This park is a quiet and not-very-well-known nature jewel, which makes it great for birding. Come enjoy a 1-2 hour guided field trip along the Towamencin Creek and woods, on easy paved and mowed paths. We will look for those birds migrating through, as well as year-round favorites. Birders and nature lovers of all experience and ability levels are welcome, including children if accompanied by an adult. Bring binoculars if you have them. There are public restrooms on-site. Masks are not required for this outdoor program, although VFAS encourages all participants to be fully vaccinated and asymptomatic to attend. Leaders: Lynn Sowden and Jim Ermer
