Please join South Jersey Land and Water Trust staff member Michael Hogan for a two hour guided tour of Berlin Park on Saturday, November 19th at 10:00 am.

Berlin Park is a 151-acre Camden County Park located on the upper portion of the Great Egg harbor River just south of the White Horse Pike. The trail loops around both sides of the Great Egg Harbor River between Cross Keys Road and Watsontown Road. There are thi...ck, forested wetlands along the river with mature red maple and black gum trees. This oasis of forest provides habitat for many kinds of resident and migratory songbirds in this developed area.

Michael will identify the area’s flora and fauna and discuss SJLWT projects in South Jersey including its clean up partnership with the Camden County.


Please RSVP. No cost for SJLWT members. $3 per nonmember. The trail may be muddy, please wear appropriate foot wear and dress warm. Bring your camera and binoculars. For more information and maps contact Michael Hogan at 609-476-2086 or hoganphoto@verizon.net

Mike has a habit of picking days when I have something else planned. Last one I did was probably in March.

 

[Dragonfly Whisperer]

Yea they do tend to be on Saturdays. I did the one in March. Maybe I saw you there. That was a good one. Lots of Spring ephemerals sprouting up. Also I got a somewhat blurry shout of two Bald Eagles.And a Bee hive in a broken cedar that was down in a recent storm. Got some nice shots of that one.

 

[oji]

Yeah, we talked about the PPA plant course.

 

[Dragonfly Whisperer]

Oh right, I remember now. And I saw you again at the Pinelands Alliance plant sale.

 

[long-a-coming]

I take my kids there often as it very close when I dont have time to get into the big woods. Plenty of berries to pick in the summer. I would of liked to see the river there when it was a more substantial and clean river long ago. Regardless it is a nice place to take a walk.

 

[Dragonfly Whisperer]

It was an easy walk specially with me and my bad knee. I plan to go back in the spring and summer to see what grows .
