D&R Greenway Land Trust reacahed a milestone with the preservation of the Woosamonsa Perserve in Pennington— the 300th property permanently protected since its founding in 1989.
Woosamonsa Ridge Preserve in Pennington comprises more than 146 acres of green forests. Together with a second, contiguous site recently protected, there are now more than 175 acres newly preserved in the Delaware River watershed.
The Woosamonsa Ridge Preserve was a collaborative effort spearheaded by D&R Greenway and accomplished with the help of nonprofit and public partners: Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space, The Nature Conservancy, the NJ Green Acres Program, Hopewell Township and Mercer County’s Open Space Fund. Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space will co-manage the land with D&R Greenway.
Hopewell Township partnered with D&R Greenway to buy the adjacent piece of land located next to open space they already own, expanding protection of the scenic viewscape next to the Harbourton historic cemetery.
