In January, Nature Conservancy's [NC] Skyland's Director, Eric Olson, presented two assembly programs at the Montague Township Elementary. He explained to the students the significance of NC's work and why natural habitats are vital. He also informed them of the locations the Conservancy has in the township, which are open to the public for visitation: Mashipacong Bogs, and the Minisink Valley Preserve.
During an evening program, he offered an overview of how the area evolved geologically, and how that has influenced its unique features and ecology. Information about Montague's Nature Conservancy sites was presented, along with a slide presentation.
