GREAT SWAMP HIKE: GREAT SWAMP NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE - OCT 5
Discover the flora and fauna of the Great Swamp National Wildlife area during a naturalist-led walk on Saturday, Oct. 5, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The Great Swamp Walk, held annually by New Jersey Conservation Foundation, is a celebration of the magnificent wetlands, woods, and meadows. This leisurely-paced walk, through an area of the refuge not regularly open to the public, will be led by naturalists Emile DeVito and Blaine Rothauser.
The walk will cover relatively flat and occasionally swampy terrain. It will be preceded by a reception and orientation at the refuge’s Helen Fenske Visitor Center. The event will be held rain or shine, and walkers should wear waterproof footwear and bring water.
