April 19 10am-2pm Bonnet Island
Founded
by the organizers of the first Earth Day in 1970, Earth Day Network (EDN)
promotes environmental citizenship and year round progressive action
worldwide. Founded in 1970, the Earth Day Network is a driving force steering
environmental awareness around the world. Earth Day is the only event
celebrated simultaneously around the globe by people of all backgrounds,
faiths and nationalities. More than a half billion people participate in the
EDN campaigns every year. Their mission is to grow and diversify the
environmental movement worldwide, and to mobilize it as the most effective
vehicle for promoting a healthy, sustainable planet. Earth
Day this year is April 22rd. The Alliance for a Living Ocean is celebrating
the day by sponsoring a spring cleanup of Bonnet Island, part of the Edwin B.
Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge
on Saturday April 19th. The Edwin B.
Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge includes more than 43,000 acres of southern
New Jersey coastal habitats. These habitats are actively protected and
managed for migratory birds. The main part of the refuge is located in
Oceanville just south of Smithville. It is a great place to visit during the
spring and fall migrations. The refuge extends north to cover shoreline
properties in Stafford and beyond. One treasured area in the refuge is Bonnet
Island. It is a favorite spot for local birds and stopover point for
migrating birds.
ALO has been sponsoring this cleanup for over 10 years so once again let’s
get out there and help keep it clean in time for the spring migration. Join
all those people worldwide that participate in Earth Day events by coming and
giving 2 hours of your time in the cleanup effort. Date
and Time of the Cleanup is Saturday April 19th at 10A.M. to
noon. Meet
at the Municipal Boat Ramp at Ship Bottom which is adjacent to the western
end of the Route 72 causeway bridge leading to Long Beach Island. Directions and supplies for the
cleanup will be given out there. Participants then go to Bonnet Island and
begin the cleanup. Thanks again for your support. |
