GENERAL MEETINGS: SECOND TUESDAY of each month and is open to the public. We meet from 7:00 – 9:00 pm at the Unitarian Fellowship, One West Nelson Street, Newton, NJ.
The Skylands Group, NJ Sierra Club services the environmentally sensitive region of Sussex and Northern Warren Counties in Northwestern NJ.
The Skylands Group offers a variety of opportunities for the public to learn about and connect with their natural environment. We host movies and speakers at our monthly general meetings; engage people to explore the great outdoors by leading hikes, edible plant tours and picnics; provide outreach services to the public during town tabling days; and travel to schools to teach students about the environment. Our hope is to foster a love of and deep respect for our great outdoors.
As advocates, The Skylands Group works with other grassroots organizations to protect open spaces and water quality; promote clean energy; oppose privatization of our water and land public trust resources; and other local, national and global environmental issues as they arise.
Annually, we host a summer picnic in July and our holiday party in December, both in lieu of formal presentations. We don’t have our General or Executive Committee meetings in August. All our events are free of charge and open to the public.
CURRENT CAMPAIGN:
The Skylands Group is currently advocating for the protection of the Sparta Mountain Wildlife Management Area (SMWMA) from logging which is being done under the guise of creating ‘healthy forests’.
Forests throughout NJ have been or will be logged. Many of these forests are High Conservation Forests with closed canopies. They provide water to millions of New Jerseyans. Clear cutting can adversely impact water quality, biodiversity and threaten the existing rare and endangered species’ habitat.
The SMWMA has become the poster child for the larger statewide issues of commercializing our public trust lands purchased with Green Acres funds and exempting the State Forester from rules and regulations put in place to protect Public Trust Resources. Please visit SaveSpartaMountain.org to learn more about this important issue.
The Skylands Group, NJ Sierra Club welcomes donations to help with legal assistance and other related expenses for the Save Sparta Mountain campaign. Please visit SaveSpartaMountain.org to make your donation. This will ensure your donation is directly applied to the Save Sparta Mountain account.
