Irene Marx
"Worms, Worms, Worms!" |
My objective is to advance the common good utilizing my extensive marketing, community engagement and fundraising skills. I work with a group of dedicated professional consultants to align resources on behalf of society - i.e. the common good.
Most recently I have had the pleasure of developing food producing community sharing and plot gardens in Union County with the Come Grow With Us! community garden project. It has been exhilarating to harness the talents I use as a part of a larger organization to lead a start-up project (administerd by Groundwork Elizabeth) and to begin on the exceptionally gratifying task of creating food security in the communities I serve |

Irene is a sustainability educator, founder of an environmental summer camp and member of Sustainable Highland Park. She started vermicomposting when her son begged for a worm bin after reading an article in Ranger Rick magazine. Her worm bins can be found in area schools where students often read and write to their "pet" worms.
In this workshop learn how red worms can turn your kitchen scraps into rich fertilizer for your garden plants. Help the environment by recycling kitchen waste (banana peels, coffee grounds, egg shells...) It's surprising easy and low maintenance. Great for classroom and home use. |

“One Earth so Green and Round” |
| This workshop is an "interactive" powerpoint presentation that was created by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, to introduce audiences to environmentally friendly and unfriendly practices. The program examines several habits we all share and how they effect the environment. Some of these habits are beneficial while others are harmful. The topics covered include air and water quality, lifestyle, home and garden care, transportation and energy use, waste and global warming. |

Kathy Byers and Lydia Adams Davis are candid entertainers and award-winning recording artists. Between them they have five music CDs to their credit.
They have pooled their talents to co-write an educational environmental album.

Melissa Anahory is only in her third year at Woodlands Wildlife Refuge,but she is no stranger to wildlife. Melissa always had a passion for animals and in 2009 graduated from Rutgers University with a BS degree in Natural Resource Management - Ecology and Conservation. During this time she completed an internship with Woodlands and in 2010 her dream fo r wildlife rehabilitation was realized when she was offered a position there.Today Melissa is currently undergoing a wildlife rehabilitator apprenticeship and also serves on the board for the New Jersey Association of Wildlife Rehabilitators. Melissa wears many hats at Woodlands but one of her favorite things to do is to educate children and adults through Woodlands' wide array of educational programs and outreach events!
Come learn about wildlife rehabilitation and what to do if you find an orphaned, sick, or injured wild animal. A representative from Woodlands will explain what Woodlands Wildlife Refuge does and why wild animals should not be kept as pets. At the end of the program participants will have the chance to meet “Tank,” an educational, non releasable resident of Woodlands Wildlife Refuge. |
