Before you toss it, try fixing it! 🔧♻️

The next Roxbury Repair Café is happening Saturday, October 17, from 11 am–3 pm at Roxbury Fire Company No. 2, 110 Shippenport Road, in Landing.

Repair Cafés bring skilled volunteer “fixers” together with neighbors to repair everyday items and give them a second life. Bring your broken or worn item and get help with everything from lamps and electronics to clothing, bicycles, woodworking, knife sharpening, and more. It’s a great way to reduce waste, learn something new, and connect with your community — all while keeping useful items out of the trash.

Appointments are highly recommended and receive priority. Learn more at lakehopatcongfoundation.org/news/repair-cafe-oct-17

This free community event is organized by the Roxbury Township Public Library, the Lake Hopatcong Foundation, and Roxbury Township Recycling.

Special thanks to Roxbury Fire Company No. 2 for providing the space for this community event!

🌿 Think you spotted water chestnut on Lake Hopatcong? Know what to look for and what to do!

Water chestnut is an invasive aquatic plant that can grow quickly and form dense mats, crowding out native plants and impacting habitat for fish and wildlife.

The good news? Water chestnut is currently found only in localized areas of Lake Hopatcong, thanks in large part to our dedicated Water Scouts.

But early detection is key.

By late summer and into fall, keep an eye out for:
🌿 Floating rosettes of glossy, toothed leaves
🌰 Hard, walnut-sized fruits with four sharp spines

Think you found it? Take a photo, note the location and report it to us at [email protected]. Not sure? Report it anyway! A photo and location can help us determine whether follow-up is needed.

🌿 This summer, we welcomed Environmental Stewardship Interns Faith Bulger and Millena Galatioto to our team. From aquatic plant research and eDNA sampling to environmental education and connecting with our Lake Hopatcong community, they were involved in a little bit of everything!

As their internships come to a close, we asked Faith and Millena to share what they learned, what they enjoyed, and what they’ll take with them from their time at Lake Hopatcong. You can read their reflections at lakehopatcongfoundation.org/news/farewell-interns-2026.

And join us in thanking them for all their work and wishing them all the best!

DID YOU KNOW?

🌎 There are more than 117 million lakes on Earth.
💧 Together, they hold about 90% of our unfrozen surface freshwater.
🐟 Freshwater species have declined by 85% over the past 50 years.

These numbers are a reminder of just how important healthy lakes are, and the challenges they face, including our own Lake Hopatcong. 💙

There are simple ways we can all help, from picking up pet waste to cleaning, draining, and drying your boat and gear, to planting native gardens.

This World Lake Day, take a moment to appreciate our lake. Then take action, no matter how small, to help keep it clean, healthy, and vibrant for generations to come.
