The Green Acres press release announcing our $689,265 grant is available here: https://dep.nj.gov/newsrel/26_0051/. As WCPA conservation committee chair, Michael Rahtz noted, "This match-free funding is a fantastic opportunity for non-profit organizations like the WCPA to make improvements to the public lands we care about. We hope our project, Forests & Meadows of the Crossing, will not only benefit the Park for generations to come but also serve as a model for how community organizations can partner with NJDEP to steward and restore New Jersey’s state lands.”

THANK YOU to those of you who filled out our public survey, which made this grant possible!

On Sunday a group of park staff and volunteers, led by course designer Ryan Butcavage, did our first walkthrough of a potential disc golf course. There are a LOT of things to consider, but we're all enthusiastic, flexible, and DEDICATED! Stay tuned for more info in 2027.

What a perfect photo to introduce Washington Crossing State Park's new superintendent, Manny Montano, who attended our Sunday disc golf walk-through with his gorgeous wife, Elena, both fresh from a motorcycle ride on a perfect autumn day.

Before joining New Jersey State Parks, Forests & Historic Sites, Manny served our country in the US Army and built an extensive career with the National Park Service, including leadership roles at Sandy Hook and Dinosaur National Monument in his native state of Colorado. He brings significant experience in park operations, maintenance, emergency response, project and budget management, staff supervision and visitor services. After falling in love with Elena, a New Jersey native, Manny made his way back to the Garden State. We look forward to all that he will bring to this role!

The WCPA is partnering with the American Academy of Dermatology to explore shade structures in the Knox Grove playground, protecting our visitors from the ravages of TOO MUCH SUN! We'll be occasionally posting information from their organization, continuing with this post on Safe Sun and spotting skin cancer. Find it early, friends!!

The WCPA Conservation Crew wrapped up work on the Steele Run Restoration project on Sunday, October 25. This project—part of our ongoing efforts to restore the Continental Lane trail—was funded by a grant from the Lower Delaware Wild & Scenic (LDWS) River Management Council. The project involved clearing invasive plants from the forest understory and planting 192 native trees and shrubs along a section of Steele Run.

But don't worry—while this project may be wrapped up, the Crew has no plans of slowing down! At our next event on Saturday, November 7, we will be teaming up with the WCPA Recreation Committee to plant 35 native shade trees at the Knox Grove playground and picnic area. Join us!https://www.wcpa-nj.com/wcpa-events/2026/11/7/tree-planting-at-knox-grove

The Lower Delaware Wild & Scenic Management Council, as funded by the National Park Service, (www.lowerdelawarewildandscenic.org) supported Steele Run Restoration.
