Nature TrailThe MDRC, in collaboration with the Moorestown School District and other community organizations, is leading an effort to put in a Nature Trail around the Moorestown High School fields and woods. We are actively seeking donations from individuals and corporations. Please click here for the donation form. Thanks! The first step was put in place in October, 2006 with a wood chip trail around the new fields on Bridgeboro and Westfield Roads. This was completed by the generous donation of time, material and equipment from Leonberg Nurseries, along with funds from MDRC and over 50 volunteers from the Cross Country teams. This effort was acknowledged by the Moorestown School District.
The next step is dependent on approval from the State Department of Environmental Protection. The School District has put in a proposal for a trail through the woods. Since this trail would go through wetlands areas, it requires approval. Since it would not alter the landscape, and would be made of all natural material, we are hopeful to recieve approval. In addition, this gives Moorestown residents a much needed, well maintained trail to walk and run on while enjoying nature. At the 2006 Turkey Trot, the Moorestown Cross Country teams raised over $7,000 for the Nature Trailt as well as support for their team expenses. In addition, Harvey Howard of Family Fun Day and their Platinum Sponsors RBC Dain Rauscher and Long & Foster Real Estate presented a matching gift of $5,000 for helping to build the Nature Trail. The Moorestown Alumni Association also gave a $3,000 double-matching gift.
