The folks at the Scotland Run Park nature center have put together a whole batch of kid-friendly nature programs.  There's the Kid's Nature Club, Nature Watch, a Fishing Contest, Nature Tots and Nature Detectives.  

The park is open year round from dawn to dusk. 

The Scotland Run Nature Park is home to more than half of New Jersey's threatened species of plants and animals.

The last time he showed his beady little face in Clayton, NJ was 1909 when someone said they saw his tail hit an electric line and poof!--he was gone.  But since he resurfaced about a week later in Atlantic City and in Westville, it must have been his cousin who got fried.  What?  You didn't know the Jersey Devil had a family?

If you live in Clayton, Glassboro, Newfield, or, Monroe, Washington, Eik and Franklin Townships, then you are a part of the South Jersey Water and Land Trust and your actions make an impact on the health of our nearby lakes and streams... Scotland Run, Still Run, Little Ease Run, Reed Branch and Indian Branch, as well as Garrison Lake, Silver Lake, lona Lake, Franklinville Lake, Wilson Lake, Malaga Lake and Willow Grove Lake are all located in this water system.

The goal of the South Jersey Water and Land Trust is to increase public awareness and stewardship of our local waterways, by offering social and educational programs throughout the year. Some of the activities will include a "Water Festival" at Scotland Run Park, water quality monitoring training and team formation, a series of lake/stream walks, a storm drain stencilling campaign, and lots of other fun and educational programs.

If you would like to be a part of the action, join the South Jersey Water and Land Trust and "Make a Splash"! Future meetings for the Advisory Group are tenatively scheduled for the fourth Wednesday of the month. at 7pm at the Scotland Run Park Nature Center.
