  • WORLD SERIES OF BIRDING CENTURY RUN Saturday May 12th
     

  • Come and join us at sunrise for a day of birding as we explore some great places to bird in Central New Jersey. We expect to see close to 100 different species of birds. The World Series of Birding Plainsboro event will begin at the Preserve and will include stops at: The Princeton Institute Woods, Sourland Mountains, and Bulls Island. There will be additional stops along the way as we caravan and try to find as many species as possible. The early bird start will commence at the Preserve at 5:00 in the morning or feel free to catch up with us at the Princeton Institute Woods at 6:00 to bird or 7:00 for departure. You must pre-register for this event! Additional instructions will be sent to participants. This is a major fund raiser for NJAS and it is highly recommended for you to obtain sponsorship funding to cover the minimal cost of $1 per bird to attend this event.
     

  • Several timeslots are still available for our Nature Center Greeter and Sales positions. Our greeters answer phones, complete store sales, answer questions of visitors and callers. Interested volunteers should be available either ½ day per week on weekdays or ½ day per month on weekends. Currently Wednesdays and Sundays are in need of additional assistance and Saturdays are Critical.
     

  • Summer is just around the corner and our summer camps are filling up like never before in our history. Several volunteers are needed to act as Summer Camp Counselors for the upcoming summer camp season. Camps run from June through August 9:00 AM-4:00 PM each day. We are asking any interested volunteers to commit to one full week of camp this summer. Current volunteers get first pick of available weeks before we open remaining time slots to local schools on June 1st.

What’s Happening

  • The efforts of our volunteers to post flyers and distribute pamphlets have been a great success! We can now cover a greater geographical area than ever before to educate the public on what we have to offer at the preserve. Just a reminder to our current distribution volunteers: this month’s flyers and pamphlets are ready for distribution as of April 24th 2007.
