On Thursday, August 20th at 7pm the Mendham Township Library with host Mendham and the New Jersey Highlands with Dylan Medici, Director of Outreach and Education at the New Jersey Highlands Coalition.
Join Dylan Medici, Director of Outreach and Education at the New Jersey Highlands Coalition for a talk on the ecology, history and importance of the New Jersey Highlands: a region spanning almost 860,000 acres in Northern New Jersey, that provides 70% of the state's residents with clean drinking water. Dylan will also discuss Mendham's place in the Highlands, and how residents can get involved in advocating for the protection of their community's natural, scenic and cultural resources in the face of emerging threats such as climate change, flooding, and inappropriate development. 
 
The New Jersey Highlands Coalition advocates for the protection of the Highlands’ natural and cultural resources, including its water on which over 70% of New Jersey’s population, its economy, and its viability rely. Through the Highlands Advocate Program, individuals can learn about the critical issues impacting the Highlands region and how to stand up for resource protection and sustainable development. The program is completely voluntary and training is conducted through a series of self-directed slideshows and webinars provided below, we will add more as we develop them. The Coalition is always looking for motivated community members throughout the Highlands and in Northern New Jersey to participate in this exciting program. 
 
About Dylan Medici: 
Dylan grew up in Rockaway Township and received his B.A. in history from Rutgers University. He began his environmental career in 2020 by serving two consecutive Americorps service terms: with the NY-NJ Trail Conference and the Student Conservation Association. He brings with him a background in creating sustainable and equal access to the outdoors through education and volunteer service.

Heart & Mind Coaching and Consulting 

I'm a certified life coach with over 15 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and families through academic, personal, and life challenges. With a background in special education, training in clinical mental health counseling, and an LDT-C (Learning Disabilities Teacher-Consultant) certification, I bring a unique blend of educational expertise, coaching, and compassionate guidance to every client I work with. My journey began long before I entered the field of education. Growing up during the Bosnian War taught me the power of resilience, hope, and perseverance. Those experiences shaped my belief that while we can't always control the circumstances we face, we can choose how we respond—and those choices have the power to create meaningful change. That belief is the foundation of Heart &amp; Mind Coaching &amp; Consulting. Whether I'm working with an adolescent building confidence, a parent seeking guidance, or an individual navigating a life transition, my goal is always the same: to create a supportive, encouraging space where people feel seen, understood, and empowered to move forward. At Heart &amp; Mind, I combine evidence-informed strategies with empathy, practical tools, and personalized coaching to help clients gain clarity, strengthen essential life skills, and create lasting, meaningful growth because meaningful change starts with both the heart and the mind.
