A TRIAL OF SWAMP PINK SEED COLLECTION AND DISPERSAL WILL BE DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED AT THE CAMDEN COUNTY COLLEGE SITE SITE AND WILL BE MONITORED FOR GERMINATION SUCCESS. NEW JERSEY AUDUBON WILL ALSO CONDUCT OUTREACH TO THE TRUMP NATIONAL GOLF CLUB (TNGC) WHICH OWNS PROPERTY CONTAINING AN EXISTING SWAMP PINK POPULATION WITHIN THE SAME WATERSHED AS THE CAMDEN COUNTY COLLEGE POPULATION. THE TNGC POPULATION WILL BE ASSESSED AND APPROPRIATE RESTORATION ACTIONS WILL TAKE PLACE SUCH AS CAGING INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS OF PLANTS TO PROTECT THEM FROM DEER BROWSE. NEW JERSEY AUDUBON WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE FENCED POPULATION AT CAMDEN COUNTY COLLEGE IN THE SPRING OF EACH YEAR BASED ON PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED MONITORING PROTOCOLS. CONTINUATION OF MONITORING WILL PROVIDE AN ONGOING ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE INSTALLED DEER EXCLOSURE AS WELL AS AN UNDERSTANDING OF ADDITIONAL RESTORATION NEEDS GOT LONG TERM VIABILITY OF THE POPULATION.
