The Summer is here and we have enjoyed (some of us) the spring with all its bloom and gloom. The beauty of new foliage everywhere also bring a sneeze as pollens scatter here and near.

The beauty of nature is all around us as we wake up to the chirping of birds singing.
The State of New Jersey is very active in preserving land and wildlife.

I received the County Bell-a quarterly newsletter, issued by the
Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders-and was reading some of the links for nature centers in this South Jersey area. It is a very informative newsletters that
also have a large list of the county's activities; highlighting the arts, history, parks, and tourism in Burlington County.
Due to the economic crunch, it is unfortunate that some of the parks in New Jersey, will be closed to cut state deficeits. Perhaps it will be a temporary fix. There must be another way to cut expenses. With the gas prices being so high, the parks might be the only place for many of us to go.

I am very concern about the preservation of land for all of our animals.
With so much building, I don't think there is enough understanding of the habitat
of many animals who have lived here for centuries.

Now that we are in a economical crunch, maybe some of the building and occupation of large amounts of land will stop.
With gas and feul prices so high, perhaps this is the opportunity to focus
on better and healthy alternatives and enjoy life a little more.

We can apply new knowledge and understanding to our everyday lives by visiting
your local nature center or any nature center.
We can all educate others and be an advocate for the preservation of earth by changing first, the way we think and than by practicing what you know is good for you, your family, and the earth.
