You’ll notice a theme of collaboration and cooperation running through the winter issue of our newsletter. You’ll read about the many hands it takes to open a new land preserve, and different organizations using their specialized expertise to save the American chestnut tree from extinction. When we put out calls to action, dozens of volunteers showed up to plant hundreds of trees that will nurture wetlands near the Delaware River, and dozens more cleaned up decades of trash on a mountain in Mahwah. It feels immensely satisfying to be a part of these efforts, and to acknowledge the good people devoting themselves to improving our environment.
