Great "Educational" Marsh Event, September 23, 2007

 

50 paddlers attended this Great "Educational" Marsh event. The paddling trip was sponsored by the Outdoor Club of South Jersey. We were greeted by 10 additional attendees at Roebling Park including  Brian Hughes, Mercer Country Executive. We had a nice walk from Watson Woods to Spring Lake with Jim Consolloy featuring trees.
