Clean Up Springfield Today at Laurel Park 11-2

Clean community day is still on for today! I walked back in the woods and it is walkable and there’s plenty of garbage to be cleaned! Community service hours offered for your teens that need them. I am very generous with hours when kids work hard.

Free trees for planting leftover from Arbor Day also being distributed. Come on by and grab one.

11-2 Laurel Park wear boots!!

Please open up the above link and sign petition to urge the US Congress to implement meaningful Rahway River flood control. Since 2015, $7 million has been spent by federal and state governments to study the issue. It is beyond outrageous that the US Army Corps left the process with no action. Where is the outrage. Citizens need to step up to get a public protection plan in place.

Big news for the Garden State! 🌿🐞

In recent weeks, Governor Phil Murphy signed the New Jersey Invasive Species Management Act, creating the state’s first comprehensive framework to tackle harmful invasive plants. The new law establishes a permanent New Jersey Invasive Species Council, restricts the sale and spread of designated invasive species and gives growers and land managers realistic timelines to adapt to these changes.

Why is this important? Invasive plants can reproduce and spread quickly, crowding out the native plants that New Jersey's pollinators and other wildlife depend on.

This is a major win for our native ecosystems and everyone who loves the natural beauty of New Jersey. 🌳💚 Searching for an easy guide to the prohibited plants? We have you covered.
