Begin the Scavenger Hunt just after 10:00 a.m. by checking in at GSWA’s Home Base under the pavilion at the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge’s Helen C. Fenske Visitor Center. (The Visitor Center is located just inside the Lee’s Hill Road park entrance at 32 Pleasant Plains Road in Harding Township, NJ.)

We will provide you with a route to travel, questions to answer, and a list of treasures to find throughout the 55-square-mile Great Swamp Watershed region. It’s your job to navigate to each treasure site, seek answers to the questions and riddles provided, and then return to Home Base with all your spoils.

Remember to hurry back to 32 Pleasant Plains Road at 3:00 p.m. because your day of pilfering booty will earn you several chances to win some special prizes at our Scavenger’s Tricky Tray!

A free cookout waits for all who participate, so don’t forget your barbecue enthusiasm. We love it when our guests participate in the picnic! Feel free to bring along a covered sidedish (to share or not). We’ll supply the burgers, dogs, and drinks..

All are encourage to attend, especially family groups and larger scavenger hunt teams.

Advisory

Boil water advisory due to water main break in Indian Lake section near Franklin Rd and Delaware.Visit www.denvillenj.org for more info

Denville Township is issuing a BOIL WATER ADVISORY due to a water main break in the area of South Shore Rd. and Delaware Tr. If you did not received a hand delivered letter at your home, similar to this alert, you do not have to boil your water. A very small number of water customers are effected. A potential or actual threat to the quality of water being provided to you currently exists; therefore, we are implementing the boil water advisory as a precaution. Boil water until you are notified that tests show you no longer need to do so.

Effective immediately and until further notice bring tap water to a rolling boil, boil for one minute, and cool before using. Boiled or bottled water should be used for dinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth, washing fruits and vegetables, mixing baby formula, juices or drinks, and preparing food until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.

The following measures are also recommended: Throw away uncooked food or beverages of ice cubes made with tap water during the day of the advisory; Keep boiled water in the refrigerator for drinking; Do not swallow water while showering or bathing; Rinse hand-washed dishes with a diluted bleach solution (one tablespoon of household bleach per gallon of tap water) or clean your dishes in a dishwasher using the hot wash cycle and dry cycle; Do not use home filtering devices in place of boiling or using bottled water – most home water filters will not provide adequate protection from microorganisms; Use only boiled water to treat minor injuries; Provide pets with drinking water that has been boiled and cooled.

If you have any questions please call the Department of Public Works at 973-625-8334. Our hours of operation are Monday through Friday 7:00 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. In case of an emergency contact the Police at 973-627-4900, ext. 9. We are working as quickly as possible to restore your water quality. Another NIXLE will be sent out when the Boil Water Advisory has been lifted. Thank you for your patience.
