Well today anyway we get to tell you that a part of Liberty State park has been designated as a wildlife oasis, 240 acres in fact work of oasis.
That's great Johnny, the oasis won and that's great but why bring it up, maybe save it for a news roundup. Well now, it's because this 240 acres has been off-limits because of contamination. Impressed? You should be:
"This is a spectacular plan," said Sam Pesin, president of Friends of Liberty State Park. "It will become an international model for urban nature restoration."
"This is huge," said Greg Remaud, deputy director of environmental group NY/NJ Baykeeper. "It's going to be one of the greatest natural restorations in the United States."
There you go. This is big news and its big because it's protecting and proving you can bring back areas devastated my man's own stupidity and or greed. In the 1990's this area was slated to one day be a golf course, then a water park and yet it was not allowed to be overrun with development at least Go have a read, it truly is a story worth reading.
Johnny right likes the "friends of" groups out here, they mean well and get things done. Friends of Liberty State Park and Friends of Loew's, both doing vital work.
