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 Mendham Township Historic Preservation Committee:
Mendham Township’s Historic Preservation Committee has likely existed in official and unofficial forms since the township’s formation.Notes and Town record books and documents kept from the late 1700s and early 1800s take great care to document which families lived where and the old Native American footpaths which eventually would become Route 24.In 2018, the Township officially established via ordinance the Historic Preservation Committee. Some of the Committee’s responsibilities include review of applications for development, advise on said applications, make recommendations for preservation of historic sites, and prepare a survey of historic sites.The Historic Preservation Committee is dedicated to preserving Mendham Township’s historic nature and charm.
