Sustainable Landscaping event offered by the Atlantic Cape May Hub June 7 at the Egg Harbor Township Community Center from 6-8:30 pm
The Atlantic Cape May Sustainable Jersey Hub invites local Green Teams and others to learn how to adopt landscaping practices that save time and resources while creating environmental benefits regardless of where you live at a free event on Wednesday, June 7, 2023 at the Egg Harbor Township Community Center, 5045 English Creek Avenue, from 6 to 8:30 pm. The event is open to everyone. To register: https://bit.ly/A-CMHub07Jun2023 Lawns are an American obsession. A lot of effort and resources go into creating and maintaining green carpets of turf, but unfortunately, lawns offer little for nature. Maintenance can produce more greenhouse gases than lawns absorb, and they do little to support important insect populations. Residential lawns require more irrigation than any agricultural crop grown in the country. Moving away from a turfgrass monoculture can not only boost biodiversity but can cut water and gas consumption and reduce the use of lawn chemicals. “There are a lot of opportunities for people to adopt more beneficial practices in their home landscapes that will not only offer an environmental boost but can also save money, water and other resources,” Hub co-chair Amy Menzel notes. “You don’t need to make drastic changes to start to bring benefits. Adding trees and native plants, composting food scraps to create soil building humus, capturing rainwater for irrigation or reducing lawn size are all steps to take toward a more sustainable landscape at home.” The Atlantic Cape May Sustainable Jersey Hub has invited over a dozen local resource providers, including environmental organizations and local businesses that can offer guidance to attendees. The event will feature Sustainable Princeton’s Christine Symington who will share what their community has done to work with local landscapers to help them to understand the value of offering these services to customers. Jesse Connor, co-chair of the local chapter of the NJ Native Plant Society will share information on the many benefits of incorporating native plants into the home garden. Resource providers will have a chance to introduce themselves and attendees will have the opportunity to visit tables to lean more from the resources of the greatest interest to them. “While we’ve got a lot of excellent local resources we are eager to introduce people to, when we were planning for this event we had trouble identifying landscaping professionals who advertise an expertise in sustainable practices. We hope that they too will participate; there’s an opportunity for them to provide services to a growing customer base,” noted Ralph Cooper, Hub co-chair. “Sustainable Landscaping is not just for homeowners, either. Municipalities and schools often manage large tracts of land and can also benefit from small (or large) changes to their landscaping practices,” Cooper added. Some of the resource providers who will be tabling at the event include: Atlantic Cape Conservation District, Surfrider, the Greater Hammonton Permaculture Club, The NJ Native Plant Society, Arborist Mickey Riggin, the NJ Shade Tree Federation, Egg Harbor City Green Team, Earth First Native Plant Nursery, Atlantic County Master Composter Program, and others. The meeting is open to the public. You don’t need to belong to a Green Team to attend, everyone is welcome and there is no cost. Light refreshments will be served. Registration is requested: https://bit.ly/A-CMHub07Jun2023 Special thanks go out to the Egg Harbor Township Green Team for their assistance with planning the event.

Spotted Lantern Fly Guidance
The spotted lanternfly is a serious invasive pest that feeds on sap from over 70 different plant species. It excretes honeydew while feeding, which results in mold covering the plant and anything nearby. While spotted lanternflies do not directly hurt humans or animals, they can negatively impact our agriculture, economy, and everyday life. The NJDOA is urging anyone who comes across the insect to report and destroy it immediately to help slow the spread.
