| After more than two years of community effort, fundraising and litigation, 14 wooded acres on the ecologically-sensitive Princeton Ridge have been permanently preserved by a partnership of public agencies and four nonprofits - New Jersey Conservation Foundation, Friends of Princeton Open Space, Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association and Kingston Greenways Association. The partners purchased the Ricciardi property on August 25th, 2011. Link here to the full story: Ricciardi News Release |  Ricciardi Tract Dedication, October 2, 2011 Photo by Henry Horn |

KGA ANNUAL MEETING & PROGRAM--"THE D&R CANAL, GEM OF CENTRAL NEW JERSEY” Tuesday, May 24th, 7:30 PM Canal author and historian Linda J. Barth spoke to a rapt crowd about the D&R Canal, illustrated by an array of vintage slides depicting the Canal from end to end.  Below, Linda Barth demonstrates the method for giving a locktender advance notice of a canal boat's arrival.  More about our speaker's background and her books is available at http://www.lindajbarth.com/
ANIMAL AMBASSADORSSunday, April 2, 2011 Nancy Derrico, our volunteer from the Mercer County Wildlife Center, shared her extensive knowledge and experience. The four birds who accompanied her vividly illustrated the characteristics of their species, and the range of mishaps that can befall wildlife when our worlds intersect. We learned, too, about the best ways to help sick, injured or orphaned wildlife.  This red-tailed talk, perched on the gloved hand of Nancy Derrico, is a perfectly healthy specimen of its species, but has been a long-time resident at the Wildlife Center because it became imprinted to human beings as a young bird. For those who wish to support or get involved with the Mercer County Wildlife Center, many options are offered at http://nj.gov/counties/mercer/about/community/wildlife/help.html |
| ABOUT KINGSTON GREENWAYS Kingston Greenways Association aims to establish a permanent green belt around the village of Kingston consisting of natural environments, recreational park land, agricultural and horticultural land, wetlands, streams and ponds, and sites of historical interest.
