SUMMARY:Bee-Friendly Communities with Olivia Matise\, Rescheduled!
DESCRIPTION:This talk will introduce the basics of native bee ecology\, and what you can do to protect and create bee habitat on your own land and within your communities. Register below for this free event! Please list number of attendees in the comments section. \n\n\n\nOlivia Matise is a Pollinator Conservation Specialist with The Xerces Society\, and a Partner Biologist with the USDA NRCS. Located in Central New Jersey\, Olivia provides technical assistance for pollinator conservation in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast region. As an NRCS partner\, she supports agricultural producers and landowners on the planning and implementation of projects to benefit pollinators and beneficial insects. She is also the co-lead for the Xerces Society Habitat Kit Program in this region. \n\n\n\nOlivia holds a master’s degree in ecology\, evolution and environmental biology from Columbia University\, and conducted two research projects on bumble bee behavior and biology during both her undergraduate and graduate degrees.

SUMMARY:Preserving the Sourlands & Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Curious about how your property can help support wildlife\, protect clean water\, and strengthen our region’s resilience? Join FoHVOS and discover how every property\, no matter the size\, contributes to the health of the Sourlands and the broader Central Jersey landscape. \n\n\n\nDuring this program\, FoHVOS Conservation Biologist Kaitlin Muccio will introduce our new Ecological Priority Model\, a science-based tool designed to help landowners\, municipalities\, and conservation partners understand where conservation actions can make the greatest impact. Developed through the FoHVOS Community Conservation and Resiliency Plan\, funded by a Land Trust Alliance & Open Space Institute Land & Climate Grant\, the model highlights areas of high ecological value across 141\,000 acres in 13 municipalities\, including the entire Sourland Mountain region. \n\n\n\nParticipants will explore:  \n\n\n\n\nThe data and mapping behind the model\n\n\n\nThe priority areas identified\n\n\n\nHow individual properties fit into the larger conservation picture\n\n\n\n\nWhether you care for a few garden beds or many acres\, your land matters and can help steward the Sourlands and beyond. \n\n\n\nRegistration is required\, please register for the talk below\, and indicate how many will be attending. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for this event!

SUMMARY:Vernal Pool Walk
DESCRIPTION:Vernal pools are important breeding habitat for amphibians like spring peepers\, spotted salamanders and wood frogs. Unlike other bodies of water\, vernal pools are temporary\, usually drying up by mid-summer. On this guided hike\, we plan to visit some vernal pool sites and see (and hear!) evidence of amphibian activity. We will also learn about acoustic monitoring initiatives to study frog breeding calls\, and discuss the effects of the 2024 fire that occurred on the preserve. This hike will be at a leisurely pace on marked trails. Be sure to bring water and wear shoes appropriate for hiking in wet areas.Register for this event by emailing lmcnamara@fohvos.org. When sending your email\, please indicate the number of people attending the hike.
