Earth Day

Here's one way to help - take the Earth Day Challenge at Cape May Pont State Park this Saturday, April 21. Bring your shovels and pruners and lots of energy. The Park is marking Earth Day by freeing trees and shrubs from invasive vines - like Japanese honeysuckle, that oh so sweet smelling strangler. Call (609) 884-2159 for more info. If you're more a garden type, head over to the Nature Center of Cape May and help them get their gardens ready for spring. 9AM-noon, Nature Center of Cape May, 1600 Delaware Ave.
