NJ Forest Watch associated with The Friends Of Sparta Mountain

06/06/2026

Last Saturday, NJ Forest Watch had the privilege of speaking with residents at Sparta Day about the importance of protecting New Jersey’s public forests.

We are grateful for everyone who stopped by our table, shared their concerns, and voiced support for safeguarding our public lands for future generations.🙏

Now more than ever, our elected officials need to hear a clear message: New Jersey’s public forests are not for sale. They should not be managed for the benefit of private entities, corporations, or special interests. Our forests belong to the people of New Jersey and provide critical wildlife habitat, clean drinking water, carbon storage, recreation opportunities, and natural resilience in a changing climate.

🌳Public forested lands should remain public, protected, and managed in the best interests of the environment and the communities that depend on them.

Please contact your local and state representatives and let them know that New Jersey residents value healthy, intact public forests and expect them to be protected.

Together, we can ensure that our forests remain a legacy for generations to come.

Our public lands are a cherished legacy to be passed along to future generations, not sold off to the highest bidder.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of our supporters, followers, and fellow advocates working to protect and preserve our public forested lands across New Jersey and the Northeast.

Today we celebrate not only the mothers in our lives, but also the beauty and importance of nature that sustains future generations. Thank you for standing with us in protecting our forests, wildlife, clean water, and open spaces.

Wishing everyone a wonderful and peaceful Mother’s Day outdoors. 🌲💚

Please submit comments today as more logging is planned for 2026/2027 and it’s in the worst area!
The area proposed is along the most frequented hiking trail off of the “Edison Monument” and was already degraded back in 2022 on Stand 9a where now invasive species are taking over in a previous logged area.
This area is also in a Natural Heritage Priority Area and it should be off limits to logging.

Please read below to see where to send emails too. DM us for more info.
