Join Stewardship Program Manager Lauren Theis for this two-hour program about the king of butterflies, the beautiful monarch. Lauren will introduce you to this fascinating insect and provide insights into its life cycle and migration, and then she’ll lead you on a walk to search for eggs, caterpillars and butterflies. Each participating family will have a chance to make a butterfly “home” where the process of metamorphosis from egg to adult butterfly can be observed.

Celebrate National Lands Day with a morning of volunteer service working on the trails at the Fairview Farm. All of the trails on URWA’s properties are open to the public, and it is important to keep them properly marked. Projects will include installing new bridle trail markers, removing old markers and painting blazes on a new section of trail. All materials, tools, and instructions (including trail maps) will be provided. This is a great project for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, students seeking community service credits for school and adults who enjoy being outdoors! Everyone is welcome to bring a lunch and enjoy a picnic after the work is finished. Children under the age of 15 must be accompanied by an adult.
For more information and to sign up, please contact Lauren Theis at (908) 234-1852 ext. 12 or via email at ltheis(at)urwa(dot)org.

Kids (and adults!) are invited to explore the North Branch of the Raritan River with URWA. We will get our feet wet and discover what wildlife is living in the water and see a fly fishing demonstration! Everyone should wear old sneakers, water shoes or boots (no bare feet or flip-flops!). Parents are encouraged to participate, but will not need to get in the river. This program will satisfy some of the requirements for Scout badges, such as Water Everywhere (for Junior Girl Scouts), and Achievement 5: Sharing Your World with Wildlife (for Bear Cub Scouts).
For more information and to sign up, please contact Lauren Theis at (908) 234-1852 ext. 12 or via email at ltheis(at)urwa(dot)org.
