On Thursday, August 2, 2018, Buena Vista Township held a ceremonial ribbon cutting for the revitalization of a Nature Trail at Michael Debbi Park, in Richland.
Environmental Commission Chairman Committeeman John Williams stated “The revitalization of the Nature Trail was made possible through a $1,500 grant the Township’s Environmental Commission received from the Association of New Jersey Environmental Commissions (ANJEC) in May 2018.”
Cheryl Reardon, Project Director from ANJEC was present for the dedication and ribbon cutting along with Committeeman John Williams, Committeeman Steve Martinelli, Committeeman David Turner, Environmental Commission / Sustainable Jersey Green Team members Mary Motter, Sebastian Simone, Valerie Behrens, Township Clerk Lisa Tilton, Clean Communities Coordinator Gene Sykes, and representatives of the Township, Acting Public Works Director Brian Johnson, Township Administrator Kenia Nunez-Acuna and members of the Special Events Committee Pam McDaniels and Donna Freas.
With the help of ANJEC, the trail was revitalized and features nine (9) different stations in which the public can enjoy nature plants, creatures and even a vernal pond within the Pinelands.
A brochure of the trail can be located within the trail as well as on the Township’s website at www.buenavistanj.com.
