It's HERE! Check out the Winter 2026 edition of "The Beehive!"

In case you haven't read it before, our quarterly magazine is a one-stop shop for County news and resources, volunteer information, community events, and activities for youth and adults.

We'd like to thank our talented community photographers for submitting photos used in the publication, especially Heather McFarland, whose photo appears on the cover. We never miss a chance to celebrate Gloucester's beauty.

Thank you, Mr. Priest!

Recently, the Gloucester Board of Supervisors recognized Walter Priest III, right, for 40 years of service on Gloucester County's Wetlands Board and Chesapeake Bay Preservation and Erosion Commission.

Mr. Priest was honored for his contributions to environmental stewardship, habitat restoration, shoreline protection, and the preservation of the Chesapeake Bay.

Thank you, Mr. Priest, for your dedication and many years of service to our community!
