Montgomery Friends of Open Space (MFOS) is a nonprofit, all‑volunteer group founded in March 2002 in Montgomery Township, NJ. Our mission is threefold:
Preserve farmland and woodlands in the township
Steward and maintain those conserved lands
Promote local agriculture through their seasonal farmers’ market
1st Sunday in the Park Walks Return
Monthly 1st Sunday in the Park walks return after a hiatus. Stay tuned for future 1st Sunday in the Park events here or on the events page here.
December’s 1st Sunday in the Park walk was incredibly successful. More than 20 people joined Reed Chapman for a scenic walk through the Sourland View Preserve. Some trash cleanup happened along the way, too, to make it even more beautiful.
