Outreach Programs
Plants in Winter at Zega-Lockatong Preserve: February 21st, 2 PM – 3:30 PM (Sign Up)
Raven Rock Rosemont Road, Stockton, NJ (Google Maps)
With leaves fallen from the trees and snow covering flower beds, plants often fade into the background during the winter season. However, there are so many exciting things to see and learn about them during the “off season”: cold survival strategies, uses as habitat, winter ID features, sap flow, and more! Plus, evergreen conifers, mosses, and ferns get their time to shine. Join us as we explore the winter botanical world throughout the meadow and forest habitats of our Zega-Lockatong Preserve.
Volunteer Events
Stewardship Saturday at Zega-Lockatong Preserve: February 21st, 9 AM – 12 PM (Sign Up)
Raven Rock Rosemont Road, Stockton, NJ (Google Maps)
Zega-Lockatong Preserve is a beautiful primary forest ecosystem along the Lockatong Creek. We will remove trailside invasives before spring, so they don’t get to seed and spread into the rest of the forest as the canopy opens up from Beech Leaf Disease. Come spring, we’ll work to cage sapling regrowth to protect them from deer. During this session, we’ll be primarily removing Japanese honeysuckle, barberry, and multiflora rose.
Stewardship Saturday at Holland Highlands, March 21st, 9 AM-12 PM (Sign Up)
Shire Road, Holland Township, NJ 08848 (Google Maps)
Holland Highlands is a unique preserve with a diversity of features- old forest, meadow, scenic views, and a pond. There are two goals at this preserve before spring: to work on the recently re-routed red trail, and to prevent algae growth in the pond. Trail maintenance will include all sizes of jobs, from log removal to shrub trimming to plant pulling. We’ll be using barley hay in the pond to reduce the amount of algae growth this season.
NOTE ON PARKING: The linked parking Lot is 0.25 miles from the project site! There is limited parking at the project site- contact Sarah if you would like to park at the site.
