Naturalist Mike Leone will lead a 2 hour walk in Jonathan’s Woods to discover the hidden secrets of the forest by slowing down and taking a closer look at the plants and animals that inhabit this temperate mixed deciduous woodland. We will also look for signs of how the ecosystem has been altered by early settlers and grazing livestock. Prior to arrival of European settlers, Native Americans occupied these forests and searched for edible plants, nuts, fruits, mushrooms and medicinal herbs. We’ll see how many of these native plants we can find while looking for nesting birds, mammals and other surprises. All ages welcome! Some areas we explore may be wet, muddy or rocky. Wear sturdy hiking shoes; bring your camera, binoculars and water. Dress appropriately for the weather as we will go rain or shine.

Another Possible Piece of #MorrisCty History – #Denville

I had taken out several history books from #DenvilleLibrary on #Denville and #MorrisCty a few years ago. I set out on several explores based on what I read to see if I could catch a glimpse of the past. I may have found a Native American border marker too:

Waiting to hear back from @StrangeMorris to see how to get his tree verified and I will do the same outreach on this one!

#Denville PROUD! – Girl Scouts Step Up – Helps Food Pantry

#Denville’s Girl Scouts saw the need and stepped up!

#Denville’s Food Pantry Needed Supplies

Our Girl Scouts are selling cookies now! Keep their good will in mind and help them out! (who doesn’t love cookies anyway 😀 ). I did not have cash on me when I saw them at the ACME in #Denville. An innovative mom there with the troop was able to sign into the Girl Scout Troop’s PayPal and took my cookie payments via PayPal!
