Preserving open space is just the first step
Our Mission
Montgomery Friends of Open Space was formed in 2002 in an effort to preserve what remains of the Township’s farmland and natural areas. MFOS is an all-volunteer non-profit organization, made up primarily of residents of Montgomery Township and Rocky Hill. The organization’s purpose is three-fold:
- To preserve remaining open lands in the Montgomery Township
- To provide and support stewardship of the land that is preserved
- To sustain active farming by increasing awareness of agricultural issues and supporting local farmers’ markets and farm stands in the Township
1st Sunday in the Park Events
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
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.
