Upcoming lecture

The Raritan River:
Our Landscape,
Our Legacy

Thursday, February 26
6:30 - 8 pm
at the Johnson Education Center
I got this in an email and thought I'd share it because I know a lot of people fish it. If anyone wants to know more about the river here ya go, a free lecture. Click in the link at the bottom for more info.

Presented by
Dr. Judy Auer Shaw, Environmental Author

On the banks of the old Raritan, author Judy Shaw provides a tour of the 90-mile long waterway and its twisting tributaries from Morris County to the Raritan Bay. It is the longest river completely within New Jersey, where protected environments coexist with land left in ruins by industry. Dr. Shaw, a researcher at Rutgers University who has won awards for her Sustainable Raritan River Initiative, presents new ways of thinking about design and management -- with people as part of the solution.

I've been planning on attending, thanks for the further reminder. There's an excellent film posted on FB Save the Raritan River about the Superfund sites, etc., and lower Raritan. I watched most of it, copied the link and plan on watching the entire hour on TV w/my wife & son. It's awesome, really, what we've done in a horrific way & the best part about this, along with that we've created the goods that define modernity, is that many successful examples show we can largely clean up the mess. At one site, they dug all the sand and soil out all the way down to bedrock, and put clean fill in.
