Citizens United To Protect The Maurice River - Tuesday On The Fly: Salt Hay At Cohansey Meadows / 9-2-25

Discover how one South Jersey farm is turning the tide on climate change. On Tuesday, meet land steward and innovator John Zander at Cohansey Meadows, where saltwater once threatened the future of his family’s farmland. Now, it’s the foundation of a bold new vision: growing salt-tolerant grasses that restore wetlands, buffer fields, and support wildlife—all while responding to the challenges of sea-level rise. Walk the land with John as he shares how Cohansey Meadows is blending tradition, resilience, and conservation in the face of a changing climate.

This is your chance to explore the intersection of agriculture, ecology, and innovation. Hear firsthand how Zander is experimenting with crops that thrive where corn and soy can no longer grow—and learn how these efforts are helping protect farms, ecosystems, and communities throughout the Mid-Atlantic. Whether you're a farmer, conservationist, or simply curious about the future of coastal landscapes, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
