Stop by and get your feet wet! This program allows children to come down to the river’s edge and splash around in the water. We’ll turn over some rocks and maybe we’ll be lucky enough to catch a frog! You’ll need to wear water shoes, old sneakers or sandals with a strap on back. No bare feet and no flip-flops please! Parents must be present but do not need to get their feet wet – there will be plenty of volunteers on hand. Call 908-537-7060 or e-mail kyle@musconetcong.org for details. MWA members free, Non-members will be charged a $4 donation per child ($15 limit per family.)
MWA’s primary mission is education and awareness. They believe that a community that is fully aware of the importance and vulnerability of it’s natural resources is a community that will actively support efforts to ensure environmental quality. The MWA carries out its mission through grassroots activities, including educational programs in local schools, municipal government outreach, workshops and seminars for the public, stream cleanups and outdoor educational programs.
