Thank you to everyone who attended yesterday’s POWWW Annual General Meeting & Hike.  We started out at the Cedar Lake Clubhouse in Denville and reviewed trail updates, noteworthy donations, and other organizational news over coffee and bagels.  We then hit the trails for a nice loop to the scenic Hog Pen and enjoyed some fall foliage along the way.

The next Protect Our Wetlands Water and Woods scheduled events are:

Jonathan’s Woods Trail Work Party

Sunday November 18th at 8:30AM

Meet at the Old Beach Glen Parking Lot as we re-route the birders loop in conjunction with the Morris County Park Commission.  Volunteers will help clear the trail of branches and trim invasive plants.
