Participants will be responsible for their own transportation. However, the registrar will help connect those in need of a ride with other participants who are able to offer one. (The exact meeting place and time will be shared with attendees after their registration is confirmed.)
Schedule: The trip will end in the early afternoon.        
Relative difficulty: The terrain is flat and makes for easy walking.        

The Great Swamp is located in Morris County, New Jersey. Its varied habitats host a diversity of wildlife. Ranging from open marshes to woodlands, the place is a haven for nesting heron species. Also, a variety of raptors can be seen soaring overhead, including Bald Eagles. Not to be outdone, passerines, such as several swallow species including Purple Martin, can be found within its borders.
