Collins Ave clean-up Dec 3 2017

Our new Watershed Ambassador, Amber Mallm, organized a great event today. Thanks to all the fantastic volunteers who helped clean up the ditch between Cindy Lane and Collins Ave in Ocean Township. This ditch funnels storm water into a small pipe that takes it under Rt 35, into a ninety degree turn, behind the new senior center and into Weltz Park. It was totally dry today and there was lots of garbage, mostly beer cans and bottles. Thanks to the Long Branch Interact/Environmental Club for making this day a success. Your enthusiasm and energy are amazing. We hope to see you again on other projects.

Trail weeding is finished!
Trail Maintenance
We just finished clearing the weeds and tidying up the trails, and everything is looking great! Swing by for a walk soon to check out the fresh paths and enjoy some time out in nature.

Did you know? Trails are the watershed’s first line of defense! Well-maintained trails prevent soil from washing into Whale Pond Brook, which keeps the water clear and protects the fish and wildlife that call it home.
