The Sourland Conservancy has announced its Sourland Stewards project.
The project includes nature hikes and programs on stewardship topics; the stewardship guide, “Living In The Sourlands;” print and online media on stewardship topics; a Facebook group for Sourland stewards to discuss projects, ask questions and share successes; a stewardship resources page with web, print and organizational stewardship materials listed and linked to the Remember The Rain campaign, focusing on amphibian awareness in the Sourlands; a brochure on spring wildflowers of the Sourlands; and more.
To participate, email [email protected], sign up during an upcoming event or join the Facebook group.
The Sourland Spectacular will be held Saturday, Sept. 12.
Held each September on the first Saturday after Labor Day, the Sourland Spectacular is a rural bicycle ride on paved roads.
Ride from 23 to 63 miles through the forest, farmland and hills of the Sourlands. Receive a free, double-walled insulated water bottle with advance registration. There will be SAG services and fully-stocked rest areas.
Afterward, riders have a gourmet lunch of pizza cooked onsite with a homemade brownie sundae for dessert. Visit www.sourland.org/spectacular for more information.
The Sourland Conservancy works for the adoption of policies, plans, ordinances and stewardship practices that protect the Sourlands.
In order to be effective, it needs the support of members and the general public.
Advocacy projects require a great deal of work, involving research, attendance at meetings of local boards, letter writing, canvassing, displaying yard signs, organizing community members and more.
