Friends of Great Swamp NWR and USFWS will host the summer Third Saturday Guided Walk on the White Oak Trail on Saturday July 18, 1:30-3:00 PM.
The White Oak Trail, across Pleasant Plains Rd. from the Helen C Fenske Visitor Center, is a microcosm of the habitat diversity found at Great Swamp. Walkers will learn about the habitats, refuge management practices, history, plants, and animals along the trail. The focus of this walk will be identifying butterflies and dragonflies along the trail. As this is a refuge trail, no dogs are allowed.
Friends volunteer naturalists Paul Lauber and Dorothy Smullen will lead this walk. Registration is not necessary. Walkers will meet in the parking lot at the Helen C. Fenske Visitor Center, 32 Pleasant Plains Road, Harding Township 07920.
Call the Visitor Center 973-425-9510 for weather cancellations.
