Open Space Committee Continues Fight Against Invasive Species In Native Grasslands

June 17, 2021 Environment

The Negri Nepote Grassland Preserve is one of two for which the township Open Space Committee is applying for prescribed burns.

The fight against invasive species in the township’s grassland preserves continues, with the Open Space Advisory Committee voting June 15 to apply for more prescribed burns in two grassland areas.

The Committee decided to apply to the New Jersey Fire Service for prescribed burning – intentionally setting fires in certain areas for forest management – in parts of the Negri Nepote and John Clyde Memorial grassland preserves. The Clyde preserve was formerly known as the Griggstown Grassland Preserve.
