Thanks to all of the volunteers, environmental groups, businesses, reporters and other people who worked so hard over the last few weeks to protect Palmyra Cove Nature Park. Although we have lost 20 acres of the park, the damage could have been far worse and would have been if so many hundreds of people had not united to speak out to save the park. You are an amazing, driven group of people and I feel so lucky to know you.
Conservation Easement
To ensure that the remaining 50 acres will be permanently and eternally protected, we are now asking the Bridge Commission and DEP to sign a conservation easement agreement. Hopefully we'll be able to add the 20 acres after this emergency has passed.

We should be proud of the efforts set forth with trying to save the cove from being the dumping grounds for the dredging materials. The fight was well worth it, even if that meant having to compromise with the sacrifice of 20 acres. That, although not what we wanted, is still far better than what they originally wanted to destroy.
We can all be proud of ourselves, as our intentions were and remain, for the best interest of the wildlife and their habitat!
