Our effort to save the forest and wildlife around Preakness Ave and Carlisle Ave in Wayne NJ in March, 2020

22/04/2020

4-21-20 -- Environmental activist Richard Brummel has quietly been waging a ferocious battle in State Superior Court since March 20th to save the forest -- and at the same time to upend Wayne Township's crooked corrupt development policies -- SEE Planet-in-Peril.org for access to the legal papers and press releases describing the lawsuit. We NEED allies in the environmental movement, civic groups, individuals, and political leaders from the Green/Left. Please contact us! We also need money to help defray the $1000 plus we have spent and need to continue spending. THANKS!

3/7/20 -- IT'S AN EMERGENCY NOW. We continue to push forward on many fronts and need participants and eventually some modest cash contributions. Please RSVP Richard Brummel (201) 749-7065 to find out what you can do. We will have an information meeting next week in a local Starbucks. Time is very short! Help get the word out get directly involved. Make sure if you live in Wayne to call the Mayor and your Council member and tell them to RESCUE THE FOREST. It appears the Church accepted an offer, but it can always be reversed. Get involved now before it's too late. Thanks

Wayne, N.J., Feb. 22, 2020 -- Our previously generously wooded and agricultural township has been (and continues to be) recklessly paved over; we who care are left trying to preserve fragments to protect and conserve nature, protect animals, and halt the over-development and over-intense usage of our land, water and infrastructure.

Let's help Grace United Presbyterian Church at 961 Preakness Ave. (about a half mile off Valley Rd.) obtain the roughly $800,000 trust fund they require while preserving their precious forest which is an oasis among suburban houses as well as home to deer, foxes, and other wildlife not yet cataloged.

Wayne has failed to restrain over-development and failed to diligently acquire open-space to protect our local nature. Now there is a critical and cost-effective opportunity to save 3 acres along with a small family of deer, while expanding undeveloped parkland near Valley Rd. and Preakness Rd.

Join our Committee to Save the 'Grace-Preakness Forest' and help persuade the Wayne township to take its own ordinances to heart, to wit: "to control the indiscriminate, uncontrolled and excess destruction, removal and culling of trees upon lots and tracts of land within the Township which will result in creating increased soil erosion and dust, deteriorated property values and most particularly adversely altering the biological and ecological composition and balance of the Township thereby resulting in irreparable harm to the environment to the detriment of this community," (Wayne Township Ordinances, Section 134, Title VI, section 134-91.1, Land Development, Environmental Protection, Purpose etc.).

According to Town budgetary documents and its website, there are millions of dollars in 'open space' funding, huge unexplained expenditures on parks capital expenses and a completely moribund 'open space' bureaucracy.

We will hold organizing meetings and lobby the Township. Contact Richard Brummel, (201) 749-7065. rxbrummel AT gmail.com

The next Township Council meeting is Wednesday, March 4, 2020 at 7:30 PM. We need to organize NOW!
