D&R Greenway land trust newsletter ❧ spring 2014 5 The Changing of the Guard: Long-time Trustees Inspire New Enthusiasm “A small group of us started with the idea of saving land. What D&R Greenway has become today is beyond our wildest dreams.” — Founder Sam Hamill

n occasion of our 25th Oanniversary, former trustees gathered to share stories and talk about new ideas for the next 25 years. In 1989, central New Jersey was a developer’s dream with wide open fields, beautiful forests and abundant clean water to support a growing population. Local communities were still thinking about “ratables” from new taxes, and hadn’t yet begun to realize the impact of new houses with schoolchildren and cars. Today D&R Greenway has preserved 18,200 acres of land. Our Board of Trustees guides the organization. In the beginning, Newly-elected 2014 trustees (l-r) Johan Firmenich, John Rassweiler (reelected after hiatus they were the worker bees.
