Closer things to see

Since junior studio is going to be looking at the Great Swamp Watershed, this might be a special time to get out and see some interesting sites in and near the watershed.

• Take a hike at Jockey Hollow.
• Grab a sandwich at a local deli and picnic in a little neighborhood park.
• Bike the Loantaka.
• Go talk to Jake the Raven at the NJ Raptor Center.
• Take the nature walk at the Environmental Education Center at Lord Stirling Park.
• Finish the day with a scoop of strawberry.
• Look for the ridges that are the edges of the watershed.
• Try to find a farmstand for some fresh veggies.
• Meet people at a local hardware store.
• Hang out at a coffee place.

Whatever you do, take lots and lots of pictures and find the time to sketch a little.
