Please join the Earth Care ministry for a winter excursion to the New Jersey State Museum on Sunday March 1, 2026! While this museum has much to offer, the reason we are going now is to catch a special exhibit, Ecosystems at Risk: Threatened and Endangered in New Jersey. We will have a private tour at 1:15 given by the curator, Dana Ehret. He is very excited to talk with us, for about 40 minutes, to share about what is happening in NJ's major ecosystems, the plants and animals that depend on them, the threats they face from environmental change, and ongoing research by the NJDEP to protect biodiversity. Read more here.
