Celebrate National Trails Day on June 4, 2011 by joining local runners and their families at the Second Running of the Hopewell Valley Trail Run, a 5 mile trail run and a 1 mile kids fun run at the St. Michaels Farm Preserve benefitting D&R Greenway Land Trust. Last year's inaugural race was a tremendous success: 80 trail runners, 30 kid runners, and $1300 raised to support D&R Greenway's open space initiatives.
About the St. Michaels Farm Preserve:
In 2010, the 340-acre St. Michaels Farm Preserve in Hopewell was preserved by D&R Greenway Land Trust, through the concerted efforts and funding of a lively mix of municipalities, New Jersey State government, families, individuals, nonprofit organizations, community groups, and businesses. Over 900 individuals were involved, the greatest number of public and private funding partners of any of D&R Greenway Land Trust's acquisitions. The allowable development scenario would have covered the former St. Michaels Orphanage with 1200+ homes, altering the Hopewell community for all time. Instead, the St. Michaels land is being transformed into a Hopewell community resource.
