MAKING SMART DECISIONS FOR THE LONG-TERM While the amount of open space in Monmouth County has increased by almost 3,000 acres in the past 10 years (see the County’s Open Space Acreage: pp. 10-11), the parks employ about the same number of full-time staff today as in 2001-02. Volunteers play an increasingly important role in operations, THE VIEW FROM A DISTANCE performing many new and specialized tasks that were previously done by paid The Park System was in the personnel. The value of their contributions of time reached an impressive half million dollars this year (see the Value of In-Kind Donations, Contributions & unique position to look ahead Grants: p. 17). in 2011, having celebrated 50 years of achievement for its The return on investment from solar panel installations is another bottom-line golden anniversary in 2010. improvement as park buildings now generate electricity to lower the electric The retrospective provided a bill, at times producing an excess that is sold back to the energy company.

(below)Many acres of forest meet the LOOKING AHEAD: SOLID PLANNING & OVERSIGHT water at Hartshorne Woods Park. While it is impossible to foresee all the challenges that lie ahead, there is a certain constancy to park operations that comes from good planning. The Park System is cognizant of this, and regularly publishes three planning documents that describe the framework for land acquisition, park development and recreational services. • The Open Space Plan sets out the objectives and priorities for land acquisition in Monmouth County. • The Park Development and Maintenance Plan explains how park lands are to be managed and developed for public use and enjoyment. • The Recreation Services Plan details how the Park System will provide a range of high quality wellness and leisure programs/activities to improve the quality of life for county residents in the most economical manner possible. QUANTIFYING NATURAL RESOURCES: MAPS & INVENTORIES 2011 Plant/Wildlife As stewards of the county’s open space since 1960, the Park System has Inventories gathered information to help manage the resources within its boundaries. One of the first steps is to know what’s happening on each of the 39 park properties. • Field Management Maps reveal land/water features, while inventories count plant and wildlife • Forest Health species. Monitoring bodies of water, trees, shrubs, grasses, birds, insects, and • Aquatic Resources fish at parks and golf courses helps staff make informed decisions about how to manage the sites, and guides development and recreational opportunities. • Species-Specific Inventories Orchid/Wildflowers, Geographical Information System (GIS) maps detail the geography of each park which, Observable Wildlife, among other purposes, helps find the most suitable site for facilities. Maps are consulted when designing a new trail for instance, and if that trail travels Endangered Species, Invasive Species, through an area of marshland or stream, staffers know to include boardwalk Overpopulated Species (deer, geese, etc.), or bridge construction in the plan. Field Nesting Birds, Natural Resource Inventories help monitor the composition and health of the Specimen/Estate Trees & Gardens ecosystems. They can determine if a certain species is in balance with the landscape and help formulate a response when it is not. Recently, when invasive plant species began overtaking important scenic vistas and other natural habitats, the Park System took action to control the damage and avoid the risk of losing these important features. Inventories also help find the best sites for visitors to enjoy specialized recreational activities such as fishing, birding or wildflower appreciation. Thompson Park has fields of every variety; meadows managed for wildlife habitat, groomed for athletic use or play (green below) or reserved for agricultural use (brown). The Park System maintains nest boxes and houses to encourage a healthy bird population. Did you know? The Purple Martin is completely dependent on man made housing (pictured above) to survive. 2011 MCPS Infrastructure and Equipment • 459 Buildings & Structures • 370 Directional Signs, plus over 200 Informational Signs • 129 Miles of Trails (over 32 miles paved) • 31 Miles of Park Roads • 25 Miles Golf Cart Paths • 11 Miles of Sidewalk • 103 Fueling Stations/Storage Tanks • 104 Septic Systems • More than 85 Fire & Security Alarm Systems, Fire Hydrants and Fire Suppression Systems • 185 Parking Lots (paved and unpaved) • 176 Bridges and Boardwalks INFRASTRUCTURE: KEEPING THE PARKS BEAUTIFUL The Park System manages the infrastructure needed to support the recreational facilities and amenities that host more than 5 million visits each year. From modest greenhouses, barns and picnic shelters to the grand Visitor Center at Thompson Park, there are hundreds of buildings and structures in the parks. In addition to maintaining the appearance and integrity of each building, many other systems and facilities must be maintained so that people can safely arrive at and enjoy the parks. Utilities, Water Control & Public Safety The parks have an extensive network of utility systems: irrigation, water, electric, gas, phone and computer lines; HVAC and septic systems. Because Monmouth is a coastal county, there are also numerous water features: bay frontage in 3 parks, ocean frontage in 1 park, and 4 parks are next to potable water supplies; 23 parks have lakes/ponds, 36 have wetlands, and 28 protect rivers/streams. A supply of specialized control structures are needed to maintain these properties including culverts, dams, bulkheads, dunes, and jetties. Plus, numerous fences, retaining walls, gates, etc. are maintained to ensure public safety.

  • Two New Jersey Teachers Win Presidential Awards
    NJDOE News For More Information Contact the Public Information Office: Richard Vespucci Kathryn Forsyth, Director 609-292-1126 For Release: May 20, 2008 Two New Jersey Teachers Win Presidential Awards Two of New Jersey’s four finalists for the 2007 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST) have been chosen as national winners, Education Commissioner Lucille E. Davy announced today. They are Margaret Dever, of Old Bridge, who teaches mathematics at Marlboro High School and Karen Galley, of Lawrenceville, who teaches science at West Windsor- Plainsboro High School South. Along with the other national winners, Dever and Galley will each receive a $10,000 educational grant to be used at her discretion over a three-year period. The teachers received their awards at a ceremony earlier this month in Washington, DC. “These two outstanding teachers have made the entire education community in New Jersey proud, and I join with their colleagues and their students in congratulating them,” Commissioner Davy said. “Their love of the profession and their extraordinary talents in preparing students for life and work in the 21st century define them as leaders and role models.” Enacted by Congress in 1983, PAEMST authorizes the President to bestow up to 108 awards each year. The National Science Foundation administers the program on behalf of The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Awards are given to mathematics and science teachers from each of the 50 states and Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, the Department of Defense Schools and the U.S. territories. Teachers are recognized for their contributions to teaching and learning and their ability to help students make progress in mathematics and science.
