  • The Raritan River: Our Landscape Our Legacy by Judy Auer Shaw - Rutgers University Press
    Volume 18 , Issue 4 The Raritan-Millstone Heritage Alliance Fall 2015 The Raritan River: Our Landscape Our Legacy By Judy Auer Shaw - Rutgers University Press The Raritan River Our Landscape Our Legacy cele- brates an amazing New Jersey treasure. Wholly within the state, the 90-mile-long river has 2,000 miles of tribu- tary streams and brooks. The river and its shorelines offer a magnificent contiguous stretch of wildlife habitat. It is a source of family recreation and a true asset to future economic development. It is also a precious re- cord of our historic development across the region. With some of the most beautiful scenery in the country, the photographs and paintings in the book show the variety of landscapes within the Raritan River region. The pictures remind us why we need to rescue the land, restore the habitat, and live in harmony with nature. People are the solution, and we need to engage local leaders as we educate ourselves and work local land management efforts. We want to adopt new best management practices that enrich our treasured natural resource and ensure its safety into the future. Throughout the book are stories of major organizations that represent the region and provide opportuni- ties to engage: The Raritan Headwaters Association, the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association, the Lawrence Brook Watershed Partnership and the New York New Jersey Baykeeper all lead us forward and keep the restoration and future protection of this resource high on our common agenda. Organiza- tions like the Raritan-Millstone Heritage Alliance and Crossroads of the American Revolution protect and celebrate our history in the region.
