Keep Hunterdon Green and Beautiful
UPDATE: Thanks to everyone for speaking up - the freeholders unanimously voted to keep the Open Space funding at it's current level! Speak up for land preservation! The Hunterdon County Freeholders are proposing major changes to the funding of the County's Open Space Trust Fund. You can read more about the issue here and here. Go to the Freeholder's meeting on Tuesday, April 17 at 5:30 (71 Main Street, Flemington) and remind the Freeholders that 3 OUT OF 4 Hunterdon voters approved this Trust. Each member of the public is allowed 2 minutes to speak - use your time to let the Freeholders know that you want your money used for the purpose YOU approved by vote. Take a minute to sign this petition and make sure your voice is heard.

It's a dog's life: Pepper goes to the
Farmers' Market
Pepper helped us celebrate the land trust's 15th birthday at the farmers' market. At least we thought she did, Pepper seemed to think all the fuss was for her.
After eight wonderful years I have made the difficult decision to step down as the Hunterdon Land Trust's Executive Director and accept a new position as the Environment Program Director at the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation. I will miss the deeply satisfying work of protecting the places we all love in this county, but I have no doubt this organization will continue to thrive and do good work under the leadership of its committed board and new executive director.
