LENDING A HAND. The cover image was captured during the 2023 Spring Spruce Up volunteer event in Thompson Park, one of Middlesex County’s 19 parks. Held annually in partnership with Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Middlesex County, this event brings together volunteers to clean up the park’s rain garden, shoreline restoration project, and hiking trails. The 2024 Spring Spruce Up will take place from 9 am to noon on Saturday, May 11. Additionally, in honor of National Trails Day on Saturday, June 1, the Middlesex County Office of Parks and Recreation will welcome volunteers from 9 am to noon to assist with trail maintenance and habitat improvements in Thomspon Park Conservation Area in Monroe Township. Registration is required for both events. For information or to register, please contact Julia DeRosso at 732-745-8147 or email julia.derosso@co.middlesex.nj.us.
