Montgomery Friends of Open Space is pleased to announce the winners of the Spring Nature Photo Contest held in the spring to get people of all ages outdoors interacting with the natural world. Nature prints submitted included a range of subjects; from beautiful barns and spring blossoms to stunning sunsets! The top photos were chosen by a group of professional photographers from Belle Mead and Skillman. The photos were matted and are currently on display in the lobby at Mary Jacobs Library located at 64 Washington Street in Rocky Hill throughout the month of June.
Montgomery Friends of Open Space is celebrating ten years of preserving farms, fields and forests with special educational programs and events throughout the year. The non-profit organization was founded by a group of residents in Montgomery Township in response to the rapid development taking place in the town at that time. Farmland was being replaced by large subdivisions and the rural character of the area was being transformed. Montgomery Friends of Open Space has preserved over 515 acres across Montgomery Township that will be used for passive recreation, stream corridor protection, forest conservation and pathway connections.
