Pollinator Project

Hello SLA neighbors. Would you like to be part of a larger project to create a flyway for Monarch and other butterflies and pollinators? We have some perfect continuous settings;

Under power lines around lakes, common areas or just your backyard. There are plants for many environments, including partial shade, sun, sandy or fertile soil or mixed, wet feet, drier ground… The Xerces and other environmental organizations educate and support groups interested and willing to set up flyways for pollinators. Two Master Gardeners of Camden County offered to help with this set up.

Did you know that 70% of the monarch butterflies have disappeared from the Central and Eastern US since 1990, 90% form the West Coast. This is just one species due to reduction of their habitat and use of harmful insecticides. With the fires in Canada this year the numbers are expected to be much worse. Monarchs actually must have access to milkweed to reproduce. Ingesting the leaves makes them toxic to birds.

Who:

1. Residents who back up to lakes and to power lines
2. Residents who want to include appropriate plants on their yards free from chemical treatments
3.Residents willing to monitor and water plants on common grounds and berms to insure the new plants take hold
4. Parents who would like to introduce their kids to this conservation project
5. Master Gardeners in Gibbsboro have offered to guide us.

How:

1. Organize volunteers
2. Establish areas to be planted – make a map
3. Research what native plants and milkweed do best in types of sun, soil and drought/wet conditions.

When:

1. Seeds can be planted in November and December
2. Plants can be planted in the Spring
3. Getting organized and recruiting can start immediately.

Attn: Lake Front Home Owners

Be advised starting on Wednesday, November 1st, 2023 Lakes 1, 3, 4, 5 will be lowered. Approvals have been granted to complete this work within the time frames specified by the NJ DEP and other affiliated organizations.

Please monitor your lakes daily as water levels will drop allowing home owners to clean their shorelines and shallow water areas. There is no specific date as to when this will be completed however, the project is expected to last approximately a week. Please plan your landscaping need’s accordingly.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
