New Jersey's DEP held a poor excuse for a public hearing regarding the NESE pipeline project:
They crammed everything into one meeting and not everyone had the ability to speak. Tell NJDEP how you feel dep.nj.gov/nese/contact... and demand more and fairer public hearings.

Uploading some pictures of our pleasant paddle on the Schuylkill River last week.
Saw many familiar faces and some first timers!
The Schuylkill River has a rich diverse history and we recommend everyone getting out on the river to experience it first hand, at least once!

Our 1st expedition searching for the lost podostemum plant is underway! The plant is very sensitive to water quality & grows in fast flowing waters on rocky, stable substrates. Documenting its return is important to understanding our changing River conditions.
