PCS at Burlington Island
Sun, Mar 1, 2026, Wawa, 10:30 AM
PCS will be coordinating with the Friends of Burlington Island to do an educational tour and BioBlitz of Burlington Island, a uniquely preserved island within the Delaware River with little ecological study.
We will be traveling to Burlington Island via pontoon boat, departing from Bristol Wharf (PA) and arriving on the island during its low-tide period, and leaving before the tide elevates. We will meet at Wawa/Princeton Station and travel via van to the Burlington City Public Boat Launch.
This is a unique opportunity to learn about Burlington Island, the first colonial settlement of New Jersey and a unique player in local indigenous, colonial, and recent history. The area was first used by the Lenni-Lenape, before being settled by the colonial Dutch. In the early 1900s, an amusement park was built on the island before it burned down in the 1930s. Join us to explore this incredible island, and to characterize the wildlife found here to potentially guide policy towards making this a future State Park or conservation area, while learning about the importance of local involvement in land stewardship!
Bog Week Workday in the Pocono Mountains
Saturday, March 28th, Wawa, 8:00 AM
Join the Princeton Conservation Society on a trip to the Pocono Mountain region of Pennsylvania, where we’ll work together with a longtime partner, The Nature Conservancy, an organization that is committed to conservation initiatives on donated and purchased tracts of land across the world.
We’ll be working in Tannersville Bog, a protected and highly prized area host to incredibly rare plants, like native orchids and carnivorous plants. We’ll work together under the guidance of TNC PA, doing hands on work either removing invasive plants, cleaning brush, or designating trails.
