The Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge participated in the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey's Alumni Legacy Fund Run/ Walk.  The event, titled "Choose to Lose....And Overcome Childhood and Adult Obesity" began with a 5K run/walk, followed by mini interactive health education symposiums.  Each "Mini Healthversity" included an interactive learn by doing clinic/workshop, and featured a 30 minute participant centered session designed to gain a commitment, plan and maintain a healthy life style.  At Forsythe staff and volunteers discussed recreational opportunities at the refuge and stressed the importance of Connecting People with Nature.  Volunteer, Barry Keefe, led the participants in a sing-along featuring cuts from our Centennial CD, "Songs of the System."  The refuge was listed as a partner in this event.
