The Martin Woods

This serene Hunterdon woodland, close to Kugler Woods, contains a magnificent timber stand of Virginia Pine, Eastern Cedar, and mixed hardwoods. The 24-acre conservation easement was purchased entirely with funding from Green Acres and with

Martin Woodsnegotiation assistance from HLTA. A public pathway runs along the edge of the property and will eventually be connected to other preserved land. HLTA has responsibility for monitoring the easement in perpetuity.

When Marguerite Martin and her husband bought this land in 1951, there was no water, no heat and no kitchen sink. They started a chicken farm and made a home in the old farmhouse. Mrs. Martin decided to preserve her land because "I'm conscious of the fact that houses are just coming up everywhere. It's just one housing development after another." About her property, Mrs. Martin said, "I'd like to see it just stay the way it is. I've loved it and I don't want to see it changed."
