    Interstate Hiking Club Organized 1931 Affiliate of NY-NJ Trail Conference Schedule of Hikes May 2000 through October 2000 http://www.mindspring.com/~interstatehiking/ [email protected] Interstate Hiking Club c/o Brian Mazur 11 Maple Place Clifton, NJ 07011 First Class Mail Who we are? The Interstate Hiking Club (IHC) is a medium-sized hiking club, organized in 1931, affiliated with the NY/NJ Trail Conference. IHC members are of various ages and diverse backgrounds. Where do we go? Most of our activities are centered in the NY/NJ area. Some hikes are further away. The club occasionally sponsors trips in the Catskills and Pennsylvania. We have had camp-outs in the Adirondacks and Maine. Our hikes are usually not accessible by public transportation. What do we do? Hikes generally are scheduled for every Sunday, and some Saturdays, as day-long outings. They are graded by difficulty of terrain, distance and pace. Strenuous Some climbing, usually rugged, generally 9 miles or more. Moderate Some climbing and rugged walking, but less than 9 miles. Easy Generally easy, fairly level trails, slower pace, 6 to 8 miles. Is that all we do? No. Occasionally the club will host other outdoor activities. In the past we have done trail clearing, orienteering, bushwhacking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, camping, backpacking, swimming, canoeing and rafting. What to bring: Footwear is very important. We strongly recommend hiking boots with non-slip soles. New footwear should be broken-in before being used on a hike. Bring water, a trail lunch, but please no food that requires cooking.

  • Green Acres Program
    NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION GREEN ACRES PROGRAM 2017 Grants and Loans to Local Governments and Nonprofit Organizations for Open Space Acquisition, Park Development, and Stewardship Projects PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS Chris Christie Bob Martin Governor Commissioner THE GREEN ACRES MISSION To achieve, in partnership with others, a system of interconnected open spaces, the protection of which will preserve and enhance New Jersey's natural environment and its historic, scenic, General Overview The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Green Acres Program will provide nearly $80.7 million in funding to local governments and nonprofit land trusts to acquire open space, develop parks, and perform stewardship activities on parks throughout New Jersey. This round of projects approved by the Garden State Preservation Trust (GSPT) includes $37.14 million for local (municipal and county) land acquisition projects, $33.17 million for local development of parks and recreational facilities, $5.79 million for acquisition projects by nonprofit organizations, and $2.45 million for recreational development by nonprofits. This funding comes from the Preserve New Jersey Act (P.L. 2016, C12), the enabling legislation for funding approved by voters in 2014, as well as loan and interest repayments, interest earnings, and previously approved projects that did not come to fruition. The Preserve New Jersey Act provided funding specifically for stewardship activities, and these recommendations include $1.38 million for local stewardship projects and nearly $748,000 for nonprofit stewardship projects. New Jersey’s Green Acres program was created in 1961 to meet the State’s growing recreation and conservation needs. Together with public and private partners, Green Acres has protected over 690,000 acres of open space and provided hundreds of outdoor recreational facilities in communities around the State.
