The Green Faith Ministry and other Emmaus Community members worked in tandem with Trailside Nature and Science Center staff to spruce up their Backyard Wildlife Area last Saturday. Volunteers and staff conquered rocky, clay soil to plant around 40 native perennials plants and shrubs, add compost, spread mulch and w**d invasive plants.
Additionally, the GFM donated a squirrel proof bird feeder for the site. Afterwards we shared a well-deserved pizza lunch!

Director, Patty Bertsch, explained to the group that the site is an important "outdoor exhibit", and teaching tool for many visitors and school groups that come to the Center. The area attraccts many birds, butterflies and other wildlife and can be seen from inside the lower level of the Center. Many thanks to all who volunteered!

American River Movie and Pizza Night-a big success!

The Green Faith Ministry brought community members together to view American River, a beautiful documentary about the Passaic River-it's history, ecology, the industries that utilized the river's hydropower, the pollution that resulted and the social justice that was pursued. 28 members including the GFM attended and enjoyed a pizza dinner and listened to two guest speakers, Nancy Zak and Arnold Cohen (featured in the movie) talk about their work with SPARK (Save the Park at Riverbank).
