Green Activities in Somerset County New Jersey

As always ecological concerns are at the front of our minds as we look for new ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle.  We are all aware of many of the things we can do for the environment like sorting our recycling, turning the water off while we brush, and turn off lights when we leave the room.  To a further extent we can do things like invest in an ever more popular hybrid vehicle, compost our garbage, or even tap into wind energy with a windmill. 

If you are already using many of these tactics and you would like to learn what else you can do there are several upcoming events in Somerset County that you may be interested in.  These events are meant to educate attendees about our local environments and to  teach ways to protect them.  This list of events was included in a recent article in the Courier News.

- Self-guided nature walks will be conducted Wednesday through Sunday this fall at Duke Farms, Route 206, Hillsborough.

-  A "Walk on the Wild Side" evening walk from 7 to 9 p.m. Sept. 26 and 6:30 to 9 p.m. Oct. 27 at Duke Farms.
