The Great Swamp, Wed, Apr 17 @ 7pm at Long Hill Township Library
Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Great Swamp by learning its history!
The Great Swamp is in our backyard but do you know it's history & eco-importance?
Learn how the Great Swamp was formed by the epic retreat of the Wisconsin Glacier over 20,000 years ago. Moving forward in time we'll see a few glimpses of the Swamp in the 1800's, and then through the historic battle that kept the swamp from becoming an airport in 1960 and the creation of the GS National Wildlife Refuge.
We'll end with the state of the plants & animals that inhabit the refuge today & learn about the endangered and threatened species that call it home.
