New Art Exhibit and Reception at the Historic Distillery on 6 Millbrook Road from 10– 4 Featuring the Works of Crystal White:
“A childhood love of drawing, designing, and discovering hidden treasure laid the foundation for an artistic journey. Now a multimedia artist, integrating found, thrifted, and repurposed materials emphasize sustainability and creative transformation. Self-expression through art is the driving force—whether crafting lighthearted, whimsical pieces or exploring darker, more intense emotions, working with my hands brings clarity and balance to a busy mind. Based in Glen Gardner, I continuously experiment with new mediums and techniques, drawing inspiration from the unique materials I collect.”

Sunrise Farms Presents The Cottage Garden!
The “overly designed”, belabored thought-out garden has no place here! Today’s cottage garden is for shear enjoyment with the word ABUNDANCE as it’s starting point!!!
Watch as the monarch butterflies search for the milkweed you transplanted last season, or a humming bird lands on the flower of a Jacob Kline bee balm. Maybe it’s the humming of countless bees as they dart from one cone flower to the next that signals summer has finally arrived!
And as the day turns to evening the heavenly sent of lavender
fills the air and there amongst the patch of black-eyed susan partially hidden from view is last year’s garage sale find, the old cedar Adirondack chair waiting for you to leave the days problems and anxieties behind.
Come let Tom Gabel owner of Sunrise Farms horticulturist, garden lecturer help you create this “living garden”, your own personal slice of the Garden of Eden.

“The New Jersey Tree Recovery Campaign just completed its 10th year, distributing almost 1 million seedlings. This fall the New Jersey Tree Recovery Campaign will be the focal article in the Arbor Day Foundation’s newsletter highlighting our great work. Over the years the State and the Foundation has great pictures showing the over 1,000 events held, what we lack is pictures of the seedlings being planted and them growing from seedlings to trees. “.
To help document our seedlings becoming trees and the great restoration they provide to our places we call home; a simple survey was made with a way to link a picture of the planted seedlings that will become or are now trees.”

The New Jersey Watershed Ambassadors Program is a community-oriented AmeriCorps program designed to raise awareness about water issues in New Jersey. Through this program, AmeriCorps members are placed at local host sites in twenty (20) Watershed Management Areas (WMAs) from Sussex to Cape May counties to serve their local communities. The program works with all sectors of society to improve the quality of New Jersey’s waterways, nurturing community-based environmental activities and empowering residents to make responsible and informed decisions regarding their watershed.
Monitoring and Protecting Our Watersheds
A watershed is an area of land that drains into a common body of water. In the first picture, you can see a model of a watershed. It displays a small town with houses, a factory, a forest, roads, bridges, a farm, and freshwater bodies. Once it precipitates over this land, the water will eventually flow to the water bodies, just like in our real life watersheds. We all live in a watershed; the rain that flows onto the land outside of our houses all ends up in a certain stream, river, or lake.
Our second pictures shows a polluted watershed. Watersheds can be polluted with oil and gasoline from cars, anima waste from pets and livestock, road salt, sediment/dirt, pesticides and herbicides, and litter. When there is pollution in our watershed and it starts to rain, this pollution will runoff with the rain into our waterbodies. This is called non-point source pollution because the pollution is coming from many different places, not just one. This runoff will leave our freshwater bodies polluted, harming all living things who live in the water body and depend on the water body.
We need to alter our behaviors in order to prevent our water bodies from becoming polluted with non-point source pollution. Watch the Video below for the demonstration and try to think of ways we can reduce pollution in our watershed!

The Warren County Mosquito Commission was on hand to discuss all things mosquito
The easiest way to eliminate mosquitoes is to get rid of standing water around your home.
Check your yards for anything that holds water. Dump water from containers, such as buckets, kiddie pools, and plant saucers. Drain standing water from tarps and pool covers. Recycle tires and other containers properly. Bird baths and pet dishes should be scrubbed weekly to eliminate mosquito eggs.
Defend yourself from mosquito bites by wearing repellents and securing window and door screens. Check the Centers of Disease Control website https://www.cdc.gov/zika/prevention/prevent-mosquito-bites.html for information about EPA approved repellents. For more information please contact the Warren County Mosquito Control Commission at www.warrencountymosquito.org or call 908-453-3585.
