The “Twelve Tenacious Invasives” video represents the results of simply looking around one’s town to see the preponderance of invasive species plants.  The plants highlighted just happen to be ones that are problematic to many other areas in New Jersey’s Coastal Plain and elsewhere. The project, funded by a grant from the Association of New Jersey Environmental Commissions, has struck a chord around the state with many live and virtual showings followed by Q & A sessions. Given that there are hundreds of such plants, “Twelve Tenacious Invasives” attempts to start conversations about a problem that largely goes unnoticed. Once this discussion has begun, it is easier to make the connection with the value of native plants and organisms.

Starting Saturday, November 22, 2025, The Tuckerton Environmental Commission will begin removing the invasive Bradford Callery Pear Trees that line our streets so that we can replace them with a native non invasive species of tree. The orange highlighted area in the image below shows the first leg of work in the process. This project is totally volunteer driven and at no cost to the taxpayers of Tuckerton. If you’d like to donate to this endeavor, send your check to Tuckerton Borough, 420 E. Main St., Tuckerton, NJ 08087 w/ Environmental Commission in the memo. If you’d like to lend a hand with this project, we’ll be meeting at 9:30 am behind Old Borough Hall on Main Street!

Tuckerton Borough Environmental Committee Adopt-A-Highway cleanup events are scheduled for 10 am on the following Saturdays in 2026: April 11, July 11, and September 19. If you are interested in volunteering please email  sbeaulieu@tuckertonborough.com
