Chester residents, business people, and visitors are invited to provide input on a draft plan for trails that will link parks, neighborhoods, schools, historic areas, natural areas, scenic vistas and shopping areas through a network of multi-use trails and pathways. Join us on Thursday, October 20th at 7pm at the Field House, 107 Seminary Avenue, Chester Borough to learn more and help shape the plan for your town.
Although it is not required, pre-registration would be appreciated for this exciting, interactive planning workshop. We encourage you to register so that we can provide enough materials and refreshments for everyone.
You can pre-register for the workshop by clicking here.
Be sure to familiarize yourself with our current existing and potential trails, points of interest, and community attributes by visiting the project map page. We’ll be asking you to add to these maps and seek your input and creative ideas in order to make the plan a true community effort. Check back over the next week or so as we will be constantly updating these maps as we gather additional data.
This plan was initiated by the Chester Borough & Township Green Teams/Open Space Committees who received a joint grant from ANJEC (Association of NJ Environmental Commissions) to develop an integrated trails plan for the Chesters. The plan will be implemented with the help of Conservation Resources, a Chester based non-profit organization dedicated to preserving open space lands in NJ.
