Neptune Township, along with community partners: NJ Natural Gas, Monmouth-Ocean FoodBank, Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association, Jersey Shore University Medical Center, and Neptune Twp Board of Education, treated our guests to a beach party and barbeque at the Ocean Grove beach. One of our World Changers volunteers, Scott, was baptized in the ocean. World Changers will be leaving on Saturday morning.
On Saturday, June 28th, volunteers from Neptune’s Shade Tree Commission, “Friends of MURC” and the Boys Scouts from Second Baptist Church in Asbury Park came together to plant a pollinator garden and construct a compost area at the Community Garden. It is a beautiful addition to garden and helpful to the environment.
Thank You to the Shade Tree Commission for initiating the project and all the volunteers that came out to help.
It was a true example of Unity In The Community.

Members of the Twp’s Environmental and Shade Tree Commission were joined by volunteers Laura Granelli, Beth Miller and Boy Scout Troop #81 at Volunteer Park on Saturday, April 19 as they gave out approximately 800 seedlings. “The event was very successful as many of the residents were grateful for the opportunity to receive the seedlings at no cost”, stated Chris Bedrosian, Secretary to the Commission. He went on to say that most had damaged trees as well as trees that died due to Superstorm Sandy high winds.
The fields were covered with plastic eggs as toddlers to fifth graders scrambled to gather them in their baskets or bags. The lucky winners brought their silver eggs to the stand to exchange for a prize.
