About the event

This April 14th, at Mercer County Park (West Picnic Area-near the Boathouse), MCDL is hosting environmental organizations from across the State; including leaders combatting overdevelopment, legislators, activists, and residents of New Jersey.  Their mission is to educate and amplify awareness about climate change, its impact, flooding, and the overdevelopment of warehouses and other poorly sited commercial projects that could negatively impact wildlife, forests, small businesses, the health, safety, and quality of life for New Jerseyans.    Environmental organizations from across the State will be in attendance: Clean Water Action, NJ Conservation, League of Conservation Voters, Save Hamilton Open Space, Citizens’ Climate Lobby, North Crosswicks Friends of Open Space, Skylands Preservation Alliance, to name a few.  There will be live music of the Bad Hombres, activities for the kids and information for everyone.  Rutgers’ Enviro-Scape will be used in a demonstration by a Girl Scout Troop showing how water runoff works and the importance of stormwater management, especially in the flood prone regions of New Jersey.  Mercer County Executive, Dan Benson, will kick off the speaker program at 2:00pm. Assemblyman Anthony Verrelli (LD15), Assemblyman Wayne DeAngelo (LD14), Assemblyman Alex Sauickie (LD12), will also take time at the mic amongst others!
