January is the perfect time for new outdoor adventures and a refreshed sense of learning and discovery of our natural world. Need some inspiration to get started?
Thanks to the PreK to Grade 2 students at Weston Elementary School in Manville, New Jersey for sending along words to describe their visions of a winter experience at Duke Farms:
- Peaceful and calm
- Green… but also snowy
- Cold and “brrrr” - so be active!
- Glistening, glimmering, and bright
- Nature
- Life
- And most importantly - happy.
If you are still making the decision to go outside to explore, the winter world awaits your curiosity.
Road salt may be a must-have when temperature drops and ice starts to form on our walkways but do you know how it affects our trees? When the salt finds its way into the soil and water, it can physically damage vegetation and create inhospitable conditions in both soil and water for many life forms. What is to be done?
