Save Barnegat Bay Sept 9
Blog 2006 Save Barnegat Bay
Save Barnegat Bay is one of the best organizations in New Jersey as far as working to preserve open space along the Bay shore. President Willie Decamp and three other staff members work tirelessly to urge more the than 1500 volunteer members to write letters and come out to meetings to help save precious land along the bay and other open Space in Ocean County. A major fundraising event for Save Barnegat Bay is their silent auction.
Last year one of the biggest income producers at the auction was the offer of, “A day at Sedge Island for the winner and ten guests.” Several weeks ago Save Barnegat Bay Board member Joe Yewarsis brought his family and friends to Sedge to be the first to take advantage of his winning bid. From all accounts everyone enjoyed the experience. One of the highlights was kayaking in the marsh. This trip provided agreat opportunity to see some of the last ospreys before they started their southward journey. The group was also fortunate to see several of the potato chip size diamond backed terrapins emerging from their nests.
The NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife is happy to support Save Barnegat Bay in it’s effort to preserve open space and as a result, provide increased habitat for wild animals in our state. We hope this year’s winner and friends will enjoy their experience as much as the Yewarsis Family did.
