The Land Conservancy of New Jersey is requesting a grant for the major riparian and hydrological restoration of the West Brook. The brook is located in its namesake West Brook Preserve, which is located in the ecologically sensitive Highlands region. The headwaters of the West Brook originate here and feed into the Wanaque Reservoir. During the 1950-60s an excavation took place which altered the original streambed, and this project aims to reestablish the hydrological connections by eliminating culverts, blocking the diversion of the streambed, and removing man-made debris. This will allow for the brook to be able to access wetlands and the flood plain during periods of flooding. Native wetland vegetative species will be replanted and invasive species will be treated during the project. This restoration project will improve water quality, enhance the natural habitat of various species and allow for greater passive recreation enjoyment along the newly developed West Brook Preserve hiking trail.
