September News and Upcoming Events

Dear Friend of MCF,

It’s that time of year again – daylight is getting shorter every day with the approaching end of daylight savings (Monday, November 1) and the beginning of the “dark season”.

Get outside often in these waning months of summer before the Autumnal Equinox (Monday, September 22). And make sure to join us at our Drive-In Movie Night on September 26th.

Held at Bell Works in Holmdel, this is the perfect socially distanced night out with friends and family. The featured film will be The Call of the Wild (2020) starring Harrison Ford. Scroll down for more information about this fun event that will help us raise funds for some of the important conservation projects we have in the pipeline.

See you there!

Parks Help Us Cope with the Pandemic

Where do you go for a free activity that is socially distanced? Parks of course! People are recognizing the importance of providing access to green space through a new lens due to the pandemic. MCF works to provide access to parks for all, especially in communities that need it most.
