The need for natural areas is essential for balanced, healthy living. No one can stop the growth of this Community of Flemington-Raritan, and who really wants to BUT what we can do is to preserve some open-space
and parkland before it's too late.

Imagine Manhattan without Central Park!
-Every town must have it's own park-

Residents need to be informed of planned and proposed development in the area. Residents need to get involved in order to help preserve some of our open space, and help raise funds to save Mine Brook Farm and many other lots from more residential cluster housing and commercial buildings.
Imagine a Flemington-Raritan Park where all the resident of this area could assist to some great outdoor concerts.  Imagine riding your bicycle for miles and never meet a car but only smiling faces. And why not go to a giant Farmer's Market where farmers would come to sell their products. Imagine going to some great Classical Music Concerts under the stars right here in Flemington. Why allow more developments in our town?

Please come and support their final negotiations in the long effort to save the Dvoor Farm to preserve future tranquility at the Route 12 Circle in Flemington,
-

Help this non-profit Citizens Group (est. 1978) to purchase land that would be much better suited
to environmental or cultural and recreational uses than to commercial/residential development.
-
The Citizens for Parkland want your time or donation,
please help them NOW before it's too late!
