Martin Luther King Day of Service

Monday January 16, 2012, Noon to 3

Put on your work boots and join Friends of Princeton Nursery Lands for an invigorating cleanup session. We will be clearing small trees, brush, vines, and trash in the Mapleton Preserve.  Come spend a winter afternoon outdoors, and discover the special joys of stewardship!

January 16, 2012 marks the 26th anniversary of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. federal holiday. To make it a “a day on, not a day off,” millions of Americans honor King by volunteering for a “National Day of Service” in their communities.

Bring tools such as saws, clippers, loppers and rakes.  Dress for the weather!  Work gloves, sturdy shoes, warm clothing and hats are recommended. All are welcome.  For more information,  call 609-683-0483.

Over the River and through the Woods–Thanksgiving Day Nature Walk

Thursday, November 24th

FPNL president Karen Linder led a Thanksgiving Day morning exploration of the Mapleton Preserve. We observed what items were on Mother Nature’s Thanksgiving buffet and which creatures find them savory.  We learned about turkeys, too–although we didn’t see any!

National Public Lands Day

Saturday, September 24th

Twenty energetic volunteers gave their all to this stewardship effort in the Mapleton Preserve!

Crews cleared brush and vines, removed small trees from building peripheries, weeded the butterfly garden, and collected litter in the Preserve and along Mapleton Road.

Participants worked hard, but kept on smiling!

CLIVUS MULTRUM–GOOD NEWS!

The hole for the Clivus Multrum has been dug by
South Brunswick, and the unit is poised
for installation! It is BIG (as it will be
handicapped accessible, once installed).
We could use 6-8 burly helpers for several hours.
Can you help?
