Meet in front of 2 Ellison Ave. off Route 10/Mt. Pleasant Ave., West Orange. Ages 15+.

The South Mountain Conservancy is continuing our work just north of the Reservation, helping West Orange construct a half-mile extension of the Lenape Trail. We started in November 2015 and still have work to do. Over the summer we have put in several bog bridges. This month we should be continuing our work on building the trail tread.
