Drew Forest supporters pack meeting, urge county to support $10M preservation plan
Speakers at Thursday's meeting included Parsippany resident Ken Dolsky, a well-known environmental advocate and vice president of the New Jersey Forest Watch. Drew Forest, he said, was a habitat for many species "under the threat of extinction."

Madison engages conservation group in effort to save Drew Forest

“An application to develop a portion of the Drew University Forest Preserve for housing may ultimately come before the Planning Board, but the borough is seeking to bring in outside agencies to help preserve the land before it comes to that.
Madison has asked the Land Conservancy of New Jersey to collaborate with the borough and the university on the future of any forest land Drew may look to sell off, Borough Administrator Ray Codey said at a Borough Council meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 13. The nonprofit organization has worked to preserve hundreds of sites across the state.”
