Granddaughters at Kittle Field, Stokes State Forest, NJ |
I have so many fond memories of Stokes State Forest. My Dad always told us stories about his time spent there when he was in the C.C.C. camp. It makes me sick to my stomach to think that this gas pipeline which has much more consequences on the environment than destroying the environment of Stokes and High Point State Parks, but also will affect the environment of the Delaware River. It all starts with the Marcellus Shale F racking in Pennsylvania. They keep talking Job$ to impre$$ the public. However, there can be job$ created in clean, green alternative energy $ource$.
The pipeline crosses underneath the Delaware River and Monksville Reservoir, potentially impacting drinking water supplies for millions of people. In New Jersey, about 50% of the project is located on public lands including the Appalachian Trail, Stokes State Forest, High Point State Park, and Ramapo County Reservation. If pushed through, this pipeline will destroy critical animal habitats, threaten our water supply, and clear cut forests on state land.
