This past Saturday, April 11th, Somers Point truly showed its pride during our City-Wide Clean Up Day! Streets, parks, and natural areas got some much-needed TLC—and the difference was clear everywhere you looked.

A special thank you to the Somers Point Green Team for their incredible effort and dedication. Their hard work, organization, and passion for keeping our community clean and green made the entire day a success. 💚

It’s inspiring to see what can happen when a community comes together with a shared purpose.

👏 Great job, everyone—and especially our Green Team!

Join botanist Kimberly Spiegel to learn how to use dichotomous keys to identify woody plants (trees and shrubs) by their twigs, buds and bark. After an intro activity in the Nature Center, we'll take a walk to try our skills on the trail. Magnifiers will be available for use, but please bring your own if you have one.

The Duck Waddle offers an opportunity to experience one of South Jersey’s signature winter wildlife traditions. This guided caravan-style outing will be led by CU Naturalists Tony Klock and Mary Watkins, who will take participants to several of the region’s most productive hotspots along the Atlantic Flyway for observing ducks. From familiar species to those that are less commonly seen, the morning promises a diverse range of waterfowl sightings. The group will meet at the CU Maurice River office before traveling together to key viewing locations.

The Maurice River Watershed provides exceptional winter habitat for migratory waterfowl and birds of prey, thanks to its extensive wetlands and undisturbed natural character. These ecological values are among the reasons that the rivers were designated by the National Park Service as Wild and Scenic. The Duck Waddle offers participants a chance to appreciate these remarkable resources firsthand while enjoying a morning of shared discovery in the field.

This year marks an exciting shift from our popular What It’s Like to Be a Bird series to a new focus on the fascinating world of insects. Throughout 2026, CU naturalists and guest scientists will guide participants in learning to identify local insect groups while gaining a deeper understanding of how insects support healthy ecosystems through interactive workshops and garden based experiences.
The series begins with a program on Hymenoptera, the insect group that includes bees, wasps, and ants, with a primary focus on native bees, presented by Michael Hoban of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. This group of insects is vital to ecosystem functioning, providing essential services such as pollination, natural pest control, nutrient cycling, and soil health. Participants will explore their behaviors and ecological importance and take part in a Make and Take workshop where they will create bee nurseries, while learning how to use them responsibly to support pollinators at home.
