New Jersey Conservation Foundation, in partnership with Princeton Day School and Duke Farms, will host a screening of the award-winning documentary Common Ground on Sunday, April 13, at 2:00 p.m. at Princeton Day School. The film highlights the urgent need for regenerative agriculture to restore soil health, combat climate change, and build a sustainable future. Following the screening, a panel of experts will lead a discussion and audience Q&A, offering insights into how regenerative farming practices can be applied locally and globally. 

This year, we'll focus on the natural relationships and modern classification of plants, using the Pine Barrens of New Jersey as our outdoor classroom.

Join us for a guided bird walk to experience the beauty and diversity of spring migration in New Jersey! Experienced and beginner birders are all welcome! We will have binoculars to borrow.

Naturalist Bill Lynch will lead us through the meadows and forest edges of Bamboo Brook as we search for both spring migrants and breeding birds. Songbirds love the transition between forest and field, and use the treetops to sing their hearts out.

Join birding experts at Ellarslie Museum in Trenton's crown jewel - Cadwalader Park! We will learn about a variety of species that visit the park during spring migration including warblers, orioles, and many more!

Join birding experts on our 4th annual bird walk in Trenton's crown jewel - Cadwalader Park! We will learn to identify birds by both sight and sound, and expect to see beautiful spring migrants and residents - warblers, orioles, and much more! We will also go over proper binocular techniques. 

Spring migration continues as we venture into the forest to search for migrants and breeding birds. We’ll hope to see Scarlet Tanagers, Ovenbirds, Woodpeckers, and other species that prefer the taller trees and denser vegetation of mature woodland.

Join Sourlands naturalist and expert birder Juanita Hummel for a spring bird walk through Rainbow Hill at Sourland Mountain Preserve! Space is limited and registration is required.

As more and more leaves cover the trees and understory of the forest, it becomes increasingly difficult to see birds and other wildlife – but there are other ways to appreciate the biodiversity of The Garden State!

Join NJ Conservation, Feminist Bird Club of Jersey City, and Liberty State Park for a "Big Day" of birding! We will attempt to identify as many species of birds as we can while having an absolute blast along the way!
