BIG NEWS for clean water in New Jersey! ๐ŸŒฟ

A huge THANK YOU to the women of Garden State for recognizing the importance of protecting our local waterways. We are honored to be the first environmental project ever awarded a $100,000 grant through their incredible giving program.

This grant will help bring the Loantaka Brook Watershed Restoration and Protection Plan to life, advancing efforts to improve water quality, restore habitat, and strengthen our watershed's clean water legacy for generations to come.

Together, we're proving that community-driven stewardship can create lasting change. Thank you for investing in a cleaner, healthier future for people, wildlife, and our shared environment.

We enjoyed Andrew The Arborist's reel highlighting the beautiful 'Botany of Nations' exhibit โ€” open now through February 14, 2027 at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. The plants Lewis and Clark documented are part of a living story that continues in watersheds like ours. This one is for everyone to consider! ๐ŸŒฟ
