St. Michael’s Property Preserved!
on January 19, 2010, the deeds were signed that provide for the
permanent preservation of the 340-acre st. Michael’s property in Hopewell.
public funding partners included the new Jersey state agriculture Development Committee (Farmland preservation program), the new Jersey Department of environmental protection Green acres program, Mercer County, Hopewell township and Hopewell Borough. together, these partners contributed $8 million toward the purchase price of the land.

The Taplin Circle
Frank taplin was a well-known and respected philanthropist who championed the cause of land preservation. His vision and
leadership resulted in the permanent protection of two signature princeton landscapes, the Institute woods and Coventry Farm.
In 2004, D&R Greenway land trust honored Frank taplin’s memory and his wife peg’s continuing support of land preservation by creating the taplin Circle, to recognize individuals who contribute $1,000 or more annually to support D&R Greenway’s critical work. Members of the taplin Circle share Frank and peg’s commitment to preserving the land, the historic character and the natural resources of central new Jersey. we particularly acknowledge the members of the taplin Circle who have contributed to D&R Greenway for five or more consecutive years.
each fall, all members of the taplin Circle are invited to a special reception. the Glenmede trust Company has generously under-written the taplin Circle receptions for the past four years and we are greatful for their support.
please note that taplin Circle members who have made a multi-year pledge are listed here at their most recent pledge payment level. their total pledge amount is acknowledged on page 11.
we would like to express our deepest thanks and appreciation to the members of the taplin Circle for their leadership in supporting the work of D&R Greenway land trust.

2009 Partners in Preservation
D&R Greenway land trust would like to thank our partners in preservation for their investment in our mission. with your
support we are able to: preserve and care for natural and agricultural lands and historic •
landscapes in central new Jersey that have been permanently protected for the public’s benefit;
lend our expertise to advance land preservation in other parts of •the state;
Implement our vision for preservation based on developing and •extending a network of interconnected greenways throughout our region — contiguous preserved land optimizes the protection of wildlife, plants and water resources and provides for public access trails;
Inspire a conservation ethic by connecting people with the land. •perhaps the most significant benefit to preserving the natural and
agricultural landscapes surrounding our cities, towns and villages is that it strengthens these communities by providing, quite literally, “common ground”— a shared continuity of experience with the land that extends across the generations.
we particularly welcome first-time donors to our organization and acknowledge the families and individuals who have supported D&R Greenway’s work for five or more consecutive years. we are grateful for their unfailing generosity each and every day.

2009 Preservation RecapIn 2009, D&R Greenway preserved 15 properties, valued at $30,849,207 and encompassing 1,154 acres. These
lands included woodlands, meadows, stream corridors and farms. Of these, four were preserved in fee, whereby D&R Greenway acquired full title and became the owner and permanent steward of the land. Three were preserved with an agricultural or conservation easement, restricting the future uses of the privately-owned land. D&R Greenway acquired these easements and monitors the restricted land in perpetuity. The remaining properties were preserved through facilitation where D&R Greenway played a key role by providing professional expertise to landowners and funding partners to affect preservation results, but did not acquire an ownership interest in the land.
A landowner explains our role in facilitation:
Our preservation transactions were conceived of and made possible through the guidance of D&R Greenway Land Trust. D&R Greenway’s vision and relationships, and willingness to work to guide our business interests accordingly, resulted in these environmentally sensitive lands being preserved for public benefit in perpetuity. — Lawrence J. Silvi II, The Silvi Group Companies
Our 2009 accomplishments included preservation of 473 acres of mature forest in the Sourlands Greenway. An urban initiative in Bordentown added to our Blacks Creek Greenway and created new community parks. We expanded the Rocky Brook Greenway and added to the Plum Brook Greenway. In Salem County on Mannington Meadows, an important habitat for bald eagles and waterbirds, we protected two farms totaling 322 acres, joining the 1,900 acres of the neighboring Seabrook Farm preserved in 2008. Close to our home at the Johnson Education Center in Princeton, we protected land along the Stony Brook Greenway across from the Institute Woods.
We are grateful to all our state, county, municipal, and private partners with whom we work to preserve and protect the lands that safeguard our natural resources, farms and the beautiful places we love.

D&R Greenway Announces The Charles Evans Future Conservation Leaders Award
Charles evans was a visionary and an en-
trepreneur who founded the evan picone fashion brand. He was also a contemplative man, who found renewal in nature. He appreciated the importance of preserving and caring for the land for the benefit of future generations. He would have recognized the need to encourage the next generation of environmental leaders.
In his honor, the Charles evans Foundation has presented an endowment to D&R Greenway land trust to fund the Charles evans Future Conservation leaders award. each year, D&R Greenway will grant one or more Conservation leaders awards to selected high school, undergraduate or graduate students with a strong interest in land preser-vation and stewardship or in
related fields such as develop-ment, communications or nonprofit management.
linda Munson, president of the Charles evans Foundation explained, “Charles believed in em-powering talent – through education, mentoring and training. D&R Greenway is an outstanding organization; there is none better able to prepare students to become environmental profession-als. It was a logical step to create the Charles evans Future Conservation leaders award for D&R Greenway to administer. I believe the results will have a lasting impact on the face and future of conservation.”
To apply, please visit D&R Greenway’s website www.drgreenway.org or call 609-924-4646 after April 1, 2010.
From left, Linda Munson, President of The Charles Evans Foundation presents a check for $100,000 to Dave Reynolds, D&R Greenway supporter and fundraising committee member, D&R Greenway Board Chair Rich Goldman and Executive Director Linda Mead.
