Greetings Friends!

Another week has passed in our last cohort of the fiscal year - and while spring is on the march outside, we have started planning our gardens inside.

the Morris Canal Greenway Trail from the O’Dowd Farm to Bread Lock Park, 2 miles.

Working on the perimeter trail at Port Warren.

We also got some trail work done by clearing the perimeter trail at Port Warren Park. CM’s are establishing a 1-mile trail around the perimeter of the cornfields there and while doing so are learning about land use issues, and balancing the need for farmland preservation while promoting outdoor recreation activities.

We were out at Bread Lock park this week clearing downed trees at the Bread Lock Park trail that stretches from BLP to Richline Road. This section of the Morris Canal Greenway Trail actually extends approximately 2 miles from BLP to the O’Dowd Farm in Stewartsville.

While it feels great to be back into a ‘normal’ rhythm, it is not without hiccups -but we are hitting our stride. Over the next few weeks, we will be celebrating Earth Day and planting some trees in Walters Park for Arbor Day. Looming large on our calendar is the NORWESCAP Community Day of Action on Saturday, April 24th, 2021. It will be an event that brings out the best in all of Phillipsburg - and we hope to be present in good numbers to do some work in Shappell Park.

More next week - have a great weekend!

Michael
