Pics from Sedge...

Each year UrbanTrekkers, the expeditionary learning program of UrbanPromise Ministries takes sophomore students from the UrbanPromise Academy to discover Sedge Island and the bio-diversity of New Jersey's coastal heritage. Sedge Island, part of the New Jersey Fish & Wildlife Department offers an educational outreach program to immerse students over several days and promote a conservation ethic for the New Jersey coastal bay and shore area. Students kayaked, fished, clammed and later prepared meals from the catch. They also did field research on a number of topics, ranging from the Diamond Back Terrapin to the American Oyster Catcher and Blue Fish in order to do oral reports on the final day at the Sedge House.
