Big news for the Garden State! 🌿🐞

In recent weeks, Governor Phil Murphy signed the New Jersey Invasive Species Management Act, creating the state’s first comprehensive framework to tackle harmful invasive plants. The new law establishes a permanent New Jersey Invasive Species Council, restricts the sale and spread of designated invasive species and gives growers and land managers realistic timelines to adapt to these changes.

Why is this important? Invasive plants can reproduce and spread quickly, crowding out the native plants that New Jersey's pollinators and other wildlife depend on.

This is a major win for our native ecosystems and everyone who loves the natural beauty of New Jersey. 🌳💚 Searching for an easy guide to the prohibited plants? We have you covered.

Keep this picture handy in case you lose power. Also have some water, flashlights and blankets on hand in case power goes out. Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend everyone!

🚨 Storm Preparedness Update 🚨
We attended a countywide meeting yesterday to discuss the impending storm. One key point that was strongly emphasized:

👉 Please report ALL power outages directly to Atlantic City Electric (ACE) first.
Even if you believe someone else has already reported the outage, it is still important to report it yourself. Larger outages are sometimes prioritized, and individual reports help ensure smaller outages are not overlooked.
We cannot stress this enough — reporting outages to ACE helps crews respond faster and more effectively.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE:
📞 Only call 911 if there is an immediate emergency, such as downed power lines.
✔ Downed lines should be reported to Atlantic City Electric and NJ State Police, and may also be reported to the county.

Thank you for helping us keep our community safe and informed. 💙⚡

We will have more updates over the course of the day as they become available.
