We are thrilled to announce BioBlitz 2024, an exciting 24-hour event dedicated to discovering and documenting the diverse species that call Flemington Borough home. Mark your calendars for this immersive citizen science experience starting on Saturday, June 22nd at 11 AM and concluding on Sunday, June 23rd at 12 PM, hosted by Flemington DIY, with experts from Princeton Hydro and Hunterdon County Queer Birders. What is a BioBlitz? A BioBlitz is a community-driven event where volunteers and scientists come together to identify and record as many species as possible within a designated area over a short period. Unlike traditional scientific surveys that typically must be implemented by licensed professionals, a BioBlitz invites people of all ages and backgrounds to participate, fostering a connection between the community and its local environment. The goal is to create a snapshot of biodiversity, providing valuable data for ecological studies and conservation efforts. Reasons to Participate in Flemington's BioBlitz Discover Local Wildlife: Whether you're a seasoned naturalist or just curious about nature, this event offers a unique opportunity to explore Flemington's urban and natural landscapes. You'll have the chance to observe a variety of plants, animals, and other organisms, some of which you may have never noticed before. Contribute to Science: By documenting species using the iNaturalist app, your observations will contribute to a growing database that helps scientists and researchers understand and protect local biodiversity. Your findings can make a difference in ongoing conservation efforts. Connect with the Community: BioBlitz 2024 is a chance to meet fellow nature enthusiasts, learn from experts, and work together towards a common goal. It's a fun, educational experience for families, students, teachers, and anyone interested in the natural world. The Importance of BioBlitz for Flemington Located in the watershed of the South Branch of the Raritan River and home to sections of watershed attached to Prescott Brook, Bushkill Creek, Walnut Brook, and the First Neshanic River, Flemington's diverse environments offer a unique setting for this event. Residents of the Borough are highly encouraged to document the wildlife in their own backyards as part of the event. Participating in the BioBlitz will help create a comprehensive baseline species list that can be compared with future studies and historical data. This information is crucial for understanding how local biodiversity changes over time and for making informed decisions about environmental conservation. The idea for Flemington’s BioBlitz was inspired by Princeton Hydro Aquatic Ecologist Jesse Smith. Jesse’s vision of engaging the community in a collaborative effort to explore local biodiversity led to this inaugural event, hosted by Flemington DIY. “My idea to do this BioBlitz came from an interest in knowing more about what was present in Flemington, with a hope that this event will help others become more interested in the natural world in their backyard,” said Jesse Smith, event coordinator, Flemington DIY volunteer, and Aquatic Ecologist at Princeton Hydro. Event Details Participants will be guided by knowledgeable experts from Princeton Hydro and Hunterdon County Queer Birders, with additional support from field guides and taxonomic keys to assist in identifying species. This event will span 24 hours in order to provide participants an opportunity to document species that are more active at dusk, dawn, and at night. The event is free and open to all ages. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Location: Flemington DIY, 26 Stangl Road, Flemington, NJ Start Date & Time: Plan to arrive at Flemington DIY on Saturday, June 22 at 11 AM to check-in and review important event details. BioBlitz Timeframe:The documentation phase kicks off on June 22 at noon and wraps up on June 23 at noon. Although the event spans a full 24 hours, participants are not expected to be actively documenting the entire time. You can choose the times that best fit your schedule within this 24-hour window. End Date & Time: Return to Flemington DIY on 6/23 at 12pm for the conclusion of the BioBlitz to review collected data and celebrate our findings! What to Bring: Download the iNaturalist app on your smartphone for species identification. No prior expertise is required, and field guides will be provided. Wear comfortable shoes and bring rain gear just in case. Princeton Hydro Environmental Scientist Ivy Babson created the logo and poster artwork for BioBlitz 2024. Whether you’re passionate about birds, plants and insects, curious about the natural world, or looking for a fun excuse to get outside, BioBlitz 2024 is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in Flemington’s rich biodiversity.

May 7 - May 11: NJWEA 103rd John J. Lagrosa Conference & Exposition The New Jersey Water Environment Association Conference is the largest water-focused environment exposition in the Northeast drawing participants from throughout the country for four days of workshops, educational sessions, networking events, exhibitor booths and more. Princeton Hydro Founder Dr. Stephen Souza is giving a presentation on ”Increased Storm Resiliency through the Application of Green Infrastructure BMPs.” See the conference program. May 18: Restoration Ecology One-Day Course This Rutgers Office of Continuing Professional Education course, led by Dr. Stephen Souza, explores the use of mitigation and sustainable design techniques to reduce stormwater impacts and increase storm resiliency. Designed for those involved in the recovery of impacted river, lake, riparian, wetland and coastal environments, the course will draw heavily upon real-world examples of restoration ecology in practice, and will cover topics, including green infrastructure stormwater techniques; FEMA's national flood insurance program community rating system (the course is approved for certified Floodplain Manager credits); reconnecting streams to their floodplains; stream daylighting; and more. The course will take place at Duke Farms. Get more info and register. June 4 - 6: Association of State Dam Safety Officials Northeast Regional Conference The conference program will focus on issues of importance to dam owners, government officials and engineers in the northeast region with applicability to the greater dam and levee safety community as well. Both general and concurrent technical sessions, timely panel discussions, an informative exhibit show, and networking opportunities with colleagues from across the region highlight this event. Princeton Hydro is giving two presentations:
