They are truly superb. Steve presently is The Nature Conservancy’s, Delaware Bayshore Office, Stewardship Coordinator. His enthusiasm for South Jersey’s treasures and his skilled use of kite photography are truly enjoyable. You won’t want to miss this presentation.

Want to be a volunteer eagle nest watcher? Eric Stiles of New Jersey Nongame and Endangered Species Program is looking for a person to watch a specific eagle’s nest in Cumberland Co. It is necessary for this person (or persons) to be able to climb into a tree stand. The nests needs 2 hours of observation weekly from January through June. If you would like to volunteer, or would like to suggest someone for this job – please call 327-1161.

Our Mail Bag – We keep getting the most wonderful letters. Most recently John and Pam Spahn wrote their fellow CU members. They are currently living in Williamstown and soon will move to Princeton. Their daughter Courtney is now 4 and Pam is expecting a second child in June. John’s radio broadcasting career still keeps him busy. John says, the photo over his desk of Vice President Gore at the Wild and Scenic ceremony on the banks of the Maurice “brings him great pleasure.” Their letter elaborates, “We are very proud to be members of an organization that includes so many fine people, people who never wavered in their commitment to a cause, even during some very tough times. You all can stand with pride in knowing that your efforts will not only be reflected today, but for generations to come.” Thanks for the kind words John and Pam, and best of luck for another healthy and happy child. Oh and Courtney – don’t worry if Mom and Dad spend a lot of time with your new baby brother or sister, parents are like that.

We never know what we will find in the mail bag, but we will keep you posted.

Osprey Volunteers – We will probably be doing some osprey platform work in March, to volunteer call 609-327-1161 and ask for Jane.

CU on the River!
