Presented jointly by the Oradell Library and the Oradell Environmental Committee.
This beautifully shot (in High Definition) and informative 30-minute documentary explains the history of the Highlands region and why it became the source of clean drinking water for more than half of the State's population. The film explains how the ecological functions of the Highlands forests clean rain as it percolates into aquifers and ultimately into surface reservoirs. It also presents the challenges the Highlands region is faces with in retaining its important forests under pressures to develop the land.
Staff from the NJ Highlands Coalition will provide an update on implementation of the Highlands Act and be available following the film to host an open audience discussion and to answer any questions.
