Gateway Park Tree Planting - Camden, NJ |
| COUNTY: |
Camden |
| TIME(S): |
9 a.m. to 12 p.m. |
| CONTACT: |
WMA 18 Ambassador Connor Milligan |
| DESCRIPTION: |
The area of land which is now known as Gateway park was once a series of motels that ran along Admiral Wilson Boulevard. These motels were demolished and knocked down 10 years ago by the City of Camden. Now, 10 years later, the land is no longer contaminated and the City of Camden, along with the multitude of partners listed above, are looking to implement and maintain the area as a Park.
On Wednesday April 18, the partners listed above, as well as 30 Junior students from Camden's UrbanPromise Academy will perform the first ever revitalization project at Gateway Park. The plan is to have the students, along with everyone else helping out that day, plant 20 trees total. Following the tree planting, there will be educational segments/presentations given by a few of the partners to the students as well. This is the first time the community of Camden is acting on the property of Gateway Park, so it will be a very exciting moment! |

Joe Seebode |
| DESCRIPTION: |
All volunteers are invited to celebrate Earth Day with Boy Scout Troop 330, Cub Scout Pack 30 and members of the Rahway River Watershed Association, Rahway Environmental Commission and Clark Environmental Commission in a clean-up of the Rahway River on Saturday, April 21 (with a rain date of Sunday, April 22). The clean-up will focus on areas upstream and downstream of the dam at Winfield Park, New Jersey. It is our hope to have enough folks participate that we can have teams work as far upstream as the Garden State Parkway and downstream through Rahway River Park in Clark, Linden and Rahway all the way to Elizabeth Avenue. Plans are to meet at the parking area adjacent to the waterfall of the Rahway River by the dam at Winfield Park at 8:45 a.m.. This is a great way to celebrate Earth Day and if you haven't participated in an event like this before, you will find it invigorating, and you will feel good about what you have accomplished...it is also a lot of fun...especially for scouts and young adults as they always find something interesting. This adds both education and adventure to the event.
The clean-up will generally be between 9 a.m. to Noon, but any amount of time or effort that folks can volunteer is appreciated. There is always a large volume of floatable debris to pick up. This includes tires and of course floatables (cans, bottles, plastics, etc.). The County of Union generously supplies gloves and garbage bags, and we solicit material donations (donuts, bagels, coffee, bottled water, paper towels, hand-wipes, etc.) for all volunteers.
All participants should wear jeans, long-sleeved shirts, gloves and boots, and waders are welcome for folks who like to get a little wet. Each participant should bring a standard 5-gallon carry bucket with a handle (put your name on the bottom)...this makes for easy carrying of "stuff" for transfer to the large garbage bags. There is no RSVP required but if you need more information or think you will attend please let us know by e-mail. |

Planting trees, mulching, and litter cleanup. We are establishing a native buffer along Newton Creek, and taking care of trees and a vegetated swale we installed last year, to help improve water quality and habitat while beautifying the park.
Dress in layers based on the weather. Make sure to wear long pants and old shoes/sneakers or work boots. We'll hold the event rain or shine. We'll provide gloves and tools. Snacks, water and lunch will be provided |
