Sign the Petition to Save the Drew Forest
With more than 14,000 signatures, our petition is a clarion call to local officials, Drew University and the press: The Drew Forest—53 intact acres with some of the oldest trees in Morris County—should be permanently preserved as open space. Your signature will advocate for a market-value conservation sale that could be accomplished with a combination of municipal, county and state open space funds, corporate or not-for-profit grants and donations. This win-win solution would preserve the land for educational and public use, maintain Drew’s reputation as the “University in the Forest” and provide needed financial funds. This petition calls on the officials of Madison, surrounding towns, Morris County, New Jersey, and Drew University to work together to achieve the goal of a permanently preserved Drew Forest.
