Once again, Jodi Alper is organizing a group of volunteers to assist the Friends of the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge with their Annual Roadside Clean-up. This year the event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 19th from 9:00 a.m. to noon.

Many of us do hikes and runs in and around the Refuge and the cleanup is a way to ensure that it remains healthy and viable.
`
`
The team will meet at the gazebo at the Helen C. Fenske Visitor Center, 32 Pleasant Plains Rd., Harding Township 07920. We will be provided with bags, pickers, vests and other necessary items. It is recommended to wear gardening gloves, long pants and waterproof boots.
`

Jodi Lee Alper is coordinating the effort for the club, and all are welcome, including family and friends. Please RSVP to Jodi at jodileealper@gmail.com if you wish to help and indicate your mobile number and preferred email address for contact and registration purposes.
