30-Acre Farm Permanently Preserved
in Frelinghuysen Township

The 30-acre Woodcock farm in Frelinghuysen Township was permanently preserved by grants provided by The Land Conservancy of New Jersey and the Warren County farmland preservation program. Since 2006 The Land Conservancy of New Jersey has helped Frelinghuysen Township preserved 195 acres of open space and farmland in their community. Located at the scenic corner of Golden Chain Road and Camp Wasigan Road, the Woodcock Farm is an active farm supporting beef cattle and chickens with hay grown on its gently rolling fields. “The Land Conservancy has been working with the family since 2006,” stated Megan Haidet Land Preservation Specialist with the Conservancy. “Through their dedication and the support of the Township and County we are happy to see this farm permanently protected”.
 
 The Land Conservancy of New Jersey contributed 50% of the funds needed to preserve this property through a non-profit grant which they had received in 2008 from the State Agricultural Development Committee. Funding from Frelinghuysen Township’s municipal Open Space Trust Fund ensured the project closed successfully.
 
Warren County Land Preservation Department Director Bob Resker stated, “This is a perfect example of our continued success partnering with The Land Conservancy of New Jersey to make the maximum use of available funds to preserve as much farmland as we can.”
