Our newest partner, The Native Plant Society of New Jersey (Essex County Chapter)!
Essex County, NJ
Our legal team sent a notice of intent to sue if development proceeded on areas our environmental consultant determined were wetlands. Our complaint prompted the NJ Department of Environmental Protection to conduct its own off-site evaluation. And their findings backed up ours!
TOGETHER WE:
- Mobilized a 22 member coalition of conservation and civic organizations
- Educated the public and garnered support for land preservation
- Garnered 12,000+ signatures on a petition sent to County officials
- Lobbied town governments and environmental commissions to pass resolutions opposing the amphitheater & support continued protections for the reservation
- Organized a student-led rally attended by over 300 students, families & elected leaders
- Received extensive media coverage including in The Star Ledger and News12
- Marshaled environmental, architectural, engineering and legal experts to stop the wasteful $8 million-dollar taxpayer-paid amphitheater
