The Corzine administration is planning on closing a number of state parks and reservoirs in NJ in order to trim their budget. Many of the parks they are planning on closing are places where AMC recreates and lead trips everyday, including Round Valley Reservoir. To find out more more about the budget cuts and what parks will be effected please visit: http://www.njkeepitgreen.org The NY/NJ Trail Conference also has a very detailed information page on the budget cuts.
It has come to our attention that there will be a peaceful rally and demonstration against the park closings on Saturday, April 5th, 12:00 noon, at Round Valley State Park. This is not an AMC event. Please direct all questions about the rally to mapgar@gmail.com
