Save the Environment of Moorestown was founded in 1972 as a grassroots
organization with a mission to preserve, protect, and enhance the natural environment of Moorestown, New Jersey, for today and for future generations. STEM’s work over the years to address local environmental issues such as water and air pollution, solid waste disposal, & recycling also includes helping to preserve and protect Moorestown’s open spaces. Our Natural Area Care program helps to maintain these sites on an ongoing basis. We are always looking for new members. |
Volunteers Needed for 4/1 Pollinator Garden Cleanup
|
4/1/23, 9AM-12:30PM
STEM is holding a clean up of the Swede Run Pollinator Garden on Saturday, April 1st. The event will start at 9:00am and run to 12:30pm. The plan is to clean up and weed the garden followed by laying a fresh covering of mulch. This garden was installed back in 2021 and due to the commitment of many dedicated volunteers it has turned into an amazing native pollinator garden. In addition to being beautiful, the garden hosts many critically threatened species of pollinators. We hope that you can join us as we prep the site for another successful growing season. Please bring your favorite gardening tools. |
STEM Annual Meeting is on 4/11 at Moorestown Community House
Please join STEM for our annual meeting. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 11th at 7pm at the Moorestown Community House. The business portion of the meeting will include a review of the year, our financial status, and conclude with a vote on our slate of officers and directors for the upcoming year.
Once we complete the business portion of the meeting, we are excited to have Emile DeVito, Ph.D. as our guest speaker. Emile has been the Manager of Science and Stewardship at the New Jersey Conservation Foundation since 1989. He received a doctorate in Ecology in 1988 for research on bird communities and vegetation landscapes in New Jersey’s Pine Barrens. Dr. DeVito develops management plans for NJCF’s 20,000+ acres of holdings designed to protect and enhance biological diversity. He is a trustee of the Pinelands Preservation Alliance and the NJ Natural Lands Trust. He serves on the Endangered and Non-Game Species Advisory Committee within the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife, the New Jersey Invasive Species Council, and the Science Advisory Committee of the NY-NJ Trail Conference.
Emile is on the frontlines of protecting NJ’s open spaces. Rather than do a boring PPT presentation, Emile is going to talk about “50 ways the state of NJ can’t get out its own way when it comes to protecting natural resources.” Bring your questions and concerns as Emile wants to address anything that is on your mind as it relates to the environment, the Pine Barrens, migrating birds, changing habitats, environmental policy, or anything else on your mind as it relates to our natural world. It should be a great evening that will both entertain and inform.
