Twp. of Washington NJ, in April we reported on a Fox incident in Ridgewood . We have heard there have been some issues in Twp. of Washington as well. Problems associated with foxes include depredation on domestic animals, perceptions of danger to humans (healthy foxes pose virtually no danger to humans), and their potential to carry disease organisms. Foxes will prey on small livestock such as ducks, chickens, rabbits, and young lambs, but generally do not bother larger livestock. Cats may also be preyed on. Foxes often carry their prey to a secluded area or their den where it is eaten by the adults and young.

Summer is probably the best part of the year to lie back and bask in the day’s warmth. There are more times to stay out for as long as possible and enjoy outdoor activities that would be impossible during winter. It presents an exceptional opportunity to connect with family and friends, develop shared bonds, and have unlimited fun.
It would help if you do not struggle for ideas of activities to do during summer. Kids get bored and are easily distracted, so to keep them engaged, it is essential to have an exciting list of activities to engage in during the summer months without breaking the bank.

Ringwood NJ, Senator Holly Schepisi called on the Murphy administration to reverse its decision to cancel swimming completely at Ringwood State Park for the 2021 season due to a shortage of lifeguards.
“There are labor shortages all across New Jersey in virtually every industry,” said Schepisi (R-39). “Aside from the Murphy administration, everyone else is finding a way to adapt even if it means operating with fewer staff on a limited schedule. Why can’t that happen at Ringwood State Park? It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.”
