Save Palmyra Cove Nature Park - latest news

Thanks to everyone who called me today to get involved in saving Palmyra Cove Nature Park, including Steve from Palmyra and Marlene from Delanco. There have been so many tense moments this week, especially when we thought the bulldozers would be in the park on Monday, but there have also been so many hopeful conversations with people working hard to protect Palmyra Cove Nature Park. So thanks for the inspiration. I also want to thank Joann and June for their hard work on making flyers.

Here's the latest news:

-Bye, bye bulldozers! We received word from Senator Lautenberg's office , which was confirmed by NJDEP Commissioner Lisa Jackson that no DEP/Corps. bulldozers will be in the park on Monday morning! Since everybody worked so hard to create flyers and alert their phone/email trees, we are going to meet in the park as planned. (See blog entry entitled "Save the Cove Picnic" for details)

-The law(yer) is on our side: Today, the Bridge Commission sent a lawyer to meet with the DEP in Trenton to attempt to resolve the issue. We wish him luck and as soon as I hear (through my extremely long grapevine) what progress was made I will let you know.
