Parker Trail Maintenance - October 10, 2020
AHMP-NJ members and friends met up at High Point State Park to clean-up part of the Parker Loop. The full loop is an 11.8 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Montague, NJ. Our team concentrated on about 1.8 miles of the trail.
This year we had 9 member and friends of AHMP-NJ help with the trail maintenance. We cleared the 1.8-mile trail of many fallen trees and branches and overgrown scrub. Firmenich, Inc generously catered the breakfast and lunch to begin and end our energetic activity.
Thank you to all that helped with the maintenance.

April 2019 Cleanup at Round Valley Reservoir Site 4
AHMP-NJ members helped to clean up the area. Joe found a TV!
AHMP-NJ members met up at High Point State Park to clean-up part of the Parker Loop. The full loop is an 11.8 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Montague, NJ. Our team concentrated on about 1 mile of the trail.
We successfully cleared the trail of undergrowth and fallen logs and timber. Along the way, we found some wildlife and collected 2 bags of garbage. We accomplished the clean-up in around 4 ½ hours and had an exciting, entertaining and productive morning.
In celebration of Earth Day, AHMP New Jersey Members spent Saturday morning helping to clean up the Raritan River. Before and After shots show the bags they filled!
Managed to remove 101 tires from the river and nearly filled a 30 cubic yard dumpster with trash, along with multiple bags of recyclables.

Habitat’s ReStore resale outlets sell reusable and surplus building materials to the public
While every ReStore outlet is a little different, most focus on home improvement goods like furniture, home accessories, building materials and appliances.
ReStore resale outlets accept donated goods which are sold to the general public at a fraction of the retail price. The proceeds help local Habitat affiliates fund the construction of Habitat homes within their communities.
Promoting reuse and recycling
ReStore resale outlets provide an environmentally and socially responsible way to keep good, reusable materials out of the waste stream while providing funding for Habitat’s community improvement work.
