In an effort to better understand the restoration needs of the Musconetcong River under TU’s newest Home Rivers Initiative, state chair Rick Axt joined the Musconetcong Watershed Association’s president, Bill Leavens in Bill’s 1947 Luscombe. This wonderful old tail-dragger is capable of flying low and slow (but will not accommodate yours truly, our rather large project coordinator, Brian Cowden). Given GPS coordinates and a detailed list of areas to be photographed from the air, Bill and Rick ascended into the skies last week to film the Musky. Attached are some of the hundreds of photos they were able to come back to earth with on a bright, sunny day. These photos help paint a picture of the good and the bad that is the Musconetcong River watershed and will help with current and future restoration efforts throughout the watershed.
