Anyone who knows me knows how much I love our local turtles. My work with the Margate Terrapin Rescue Project goes back several years. With summer only a short few weeks away, we expect our population to swell. Unfortunately, that also coincides with our local mama turtles’ egg-laying season. Gather round, folks. It’s time for […]
Margate Cherry Blossom Festival 2024 and the NexTrex Recycling Program
I’ve talked a lot about what we can do to help protect our planet. Snow. Rain. Flooding. Even an earthquake in New Jersey! Part of our crazy weather patterns come from Earth’s changing climate. Hard to believe, but it really is spring right now. And with spring comes the Cherry Blossom Festival. What: Margate Cherry […]
Sustainable Margate: Sustainable is Attainable
Back in November, I first started talking about construction microplastics and how harmful they are to the environment.

Sustainable Margate In April, it will […]

Harmful Construction Microplastics
I am a huge supporter of the environment, especially marine life. Anyone who knows me knows how important our terrapin population’s survival is to me.

Terrapin Time at the Jersey Shore
Why did the turtle cross the road? To get to the other side and lay her eggs. This is my annual reminder about terrapin time at the Jersey Shore. In the late spring/early summer, these sweet little creatures make the trek to our local Margate beaches to find a good place to lay their eggs. […]

2023 Jersey Shore Beach Badges Available Now
OK. I realize that the weather outside feels frightful. Sure. We still have 51 days until the new year. I mean, we still need to get through Thanksgiving and all of the other end-of-the-year holidays. But, I found that it is never too early to start planning for the summer. Apparently, our beach communities agree. […]
Lucy the Elephant Benefit Concert
Lucy the Elephant has been a regular fixture in Margate City for over 140 years now. As you can imagine, a lady that old needs a bit of a facelift, especially after facing the Jersey Shore weather for so long. But these things cost money. In March 2020, three lucky people won one-night stays when […]
