Last Night's NJ Highland's Counsel Meeting

 The New Jersey Highlands Counsel Vote tabled for thirty days the plan to allow the gas pipeline to go through New Jersey State Forest Land and the Highlands.






Please sign this petition to stop this from going through and destroying the pristine environment of New Jersey State Forest, supposedly protected land!

 Forest Stewardship Program

The Forest Stewardship Program (FSP) is a federally funded forest management program designed by the US Forest Service and National Association of State Foresters. The program is intended to encourage management of private forestland for non-commodity benefits, such as wildlife, recreation, aesthetics and water quality as well as traditional commodities like timber and wood products. Forest Stewardship promotes long-term active management while emphasizing consideration of all the forest resources and benefits.
