Camp out at the Capitol on April 23

On Wednesday, April 23, hikers, mountain bikers, fisherman, nature lovers, environmentalists, and families will descend on Trenton! Bring your family, friends, and neighbors to this rallly to SAVE NEW JERSEY PARKS at the Trenton State House on Wednesday, April 23 at 12:30 p.m. The address is 125 West State Street.

Dress for the outdoors - hiking boots, fishing hats, cycling shirts, and COLORFUL SIGNS will all help communicate our cause to Corzine and the rest of the state lawmakers.

A park ranger told me this morning that NJ DEP Commissioner Lisa Jackson is expected to deliver a speech outlining the DEP's budget, which will reveal how deep the cuts will go.

NJ Keep It Green Campaign is organizing the event.

Both local families and vacationing ones rest in the park's campgrounds and cabins after days spent swimming, fishing, biking and hiking.
