In this unprecedented time of Covid-19, as the pandemic hits us both nationally and locally, the Coalition to Save South Mountain Reservation supports progressive action to save lives and support our damaged economy. Now more than ever our county leaders should reconsider their planned Turtle Back Zoo expansion expenditures. Please read CSMR Board Member Joyce Rudin's opinion piece, which appeared in the May 4, 2020 edition of the NJ Star-Ledger.
We had a fabulous turn out on Sunday, March 1st. Please join us in celebrating our amazing youth who say it best: "NO ZOO EXPANSION! SAVE SOUTH MOUNTAIN RESERVATION!"
