that's not all; read more below.

It's no secret that humans have
used the night sky for orientation
for generations, but what a lot of
people don't realize is that it is just
as important, if not more critical, for
animals. In this free chat with a Game
and Parks educator,
learn how animals
use the night sky for
navigation, why light is
so important, and more.

Fish for white bass at
Swanson Reservoir
August through early September | Trenton
According to the 2022 Fishing Forecast, Swanson
Reservoir is one of the best spots for white bass
this year. This time of year, white bass are chasing
schools of shad, creating a feeding frenzy as they
drive them to the surface. You can catch a lot of fi sh
this way. Watch for gulls, who will also be on the
lookout for the same schools of shad.
