Voices of the Watershed – Blog Contributors
Of the residents of the Lower Raritan Watershed there are many naturalists and individuals with a wealth of knowledge about the special ecosystem we call home. “Voices of the Watershed” is our community blog, a place for watershed residents to document (through photos and posts) stories and observations of the watershed.
Current Contributors to the LRWP Voices of the Watershed Blog:
Joe Sapia – “Pine Barrens Around Helmetta”
Joe Mish – “Nature on the Raritan, Hidden in Plain View”
Maya Fenyk – “Threatened and Endangered Species of the Watershed”
Alison M. Jones – “Images of the Lower Raritan Watershed”
Guest Bloggers:
We invite guest bloggers to submit posts for our community blog to share their love of the watershed. We are especially interested in stories and posts that:
• Capture a sense of direct engagement with the landscape (e.g. campouts, childhood adventures in the woods, learning to identify species, learning about medicinal or nutrition properties of certain plants, wayfinding using nature)
• Document species that may no longer have a significant presence in the area (e.g. recollection of bird songs, deer paths or endangered species sightings)
• Document species currently observed, and that capture anecdotes regarding these species (e.g. recipes for squirrel, venison or tea made from sassafras)
• Capture a sense of changes in human engagement with the watershed over time
