October is here, and the upcoming events at the Long Beach Township Marine Education Field Station in Holgate epitomize the Island in autumn. Learn about striped bass conservation, hear a presentation on Superstorm Sandy and other “great storms of the Jersey Shore” or sign up to make pumpkin planters and pumpkin face masks.

On Sunday, Oct. 10, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., Root, The Green Shoppe will hold a workshop to guide attendees in making pumpkin planters for their homes.
