Message from the President:
April showers bring May flowers, and May flower bring pilgrims :-). Seriously, we are in desperate need of rain. I float stocked the Flatbrook on Friday, April 20. The river was scary low !!!!
Our conservation activities continue to be in high gear. We finished our Flatbrook Clean Up and we continue to float stock every Friday. We have an upcoming clean up of the Rockaway River on May 19. Upcoming activities include installation of the 2nd Kiosk at Schaefer's bridge and removing the log jam by Pole Gate.
In June, we will help The Nature Consevancey with rock rolling at Clove Brook. The Coldwater Conservation School is scheduled for June 28 to July 1, we will send a couple of volunteers to assist. The chapter will sponsor an on stream activity by providing transportation and lunch.
We received encouraging news with the mussel and wood turtle studies. We will wait for the report and subsequent comments from Federal and State agencies. I have a guarded optimism that the project will start in the Summer of 2013.
Be the fly........ Bob Jacinto

TIC February 2012 Update
Onion Sack Program -Macroinvertebrate Study
Greetings to all!It's time to get the onion sacks into the streams to be ready for the Macroinvertebrate Studies in about three weeks from now. It is my responsibility to put the onion sacks into the water and organize volunteers to assist with the in-class studies/discussions.
Please let me know as soon as you can if you will commit to this program. This will allow me to have the appropriate number of sacks available, and also to find volunteers. We can work on the exact date and time for the actual in-class activities at a later time.
A detailed program write-up is attached. It was prepared by Jessica Griglak of the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife.
I look forward to hearing from you all. Thanks.
