| Description: |
Native Americans frequented the Alpine Lakes and used Snoqualmie Pass as a passageway for east-west trade. Hikers, climbers and horse-travelers on both sides of the Cascades discovered the glories of the Alpine Lakes early in the 1900s, but it wasn't until 1968 that a small group from both east and west of the mountains founded the Alpine Lakes Protection Society (ALPS) and began a concerted effort to protect this area.
With the Forest Service and private timber companies focused on road building and logging rather than recreation, many valleys and mountain sides fell to the bulldozer and chain saw before Congress decided the area's future. |

Cleanups
New Jersey Community Water Watch works to remove trash and debris from riverbanks while raising community awareness of local water quality issues through community waterway cleanups. Cleanups deliver immediate results to the waterway, but also provide a hands-on opportunity to engage volunteers in making a difference in their own community. Each year, Water Watch AmeriCorps members recruit thousands of community volunteers and college students at each site to help organize and attend cleanups across the state.
Stream Monitoring
New Jersey Community Water Watch is dedicated to serving as the eyes and ears of local waterways across the state. Water Watch AmeriCorps members at each site work with volunteers, community organizations, and local and state governments to provide much-needed research about the health of our state's waterways. We recruit volunteers to collect samples out in the field so that government programs can test for various types of pollution. We also work to map local waterways and identify sources of pollution.
Environmental Education
New Jersey Community Water Watch educates and trains college students, children, and community members about the state of local water quality and the steps that people can take to make an impact in their community. Water Watch AmeriCorps members and volunteers organize campus and community-wide educational forums and conduct hands-on educational programs for K-12 students. |

New Jersey Future (NJF) -- leaders in the crusade for smarter land use, and nationally recognized promoters of sustainable economic, environmental and social progress for all Garden State citizens.
New Jersey Future (NJF) is a leader in the crusade for smarter land use, and a nationally recognized promoter of sustainable economic, environmental and social progress for all Garden State citizens.
NJF is the watchdog of New Jersey's State Development and Redevelopment Plan: a blueprint for smart growth that would revitalize New Jersey's older suburbs, towns and urban areas while preserving its remaining open spaces.
NJF is also a key player in New Jersey's launch as the nation's first Sustainable State -- one that recognizes a high quality of life depends on a balance of economic, environmental and social goals.
Created in 1987 by concerned civic, business, academic and environmental leaders, our nonprofit, nonpartisan group has:
--Promoted open space protection and managed growth policies contained in the State Plan, taking legal action when necessary to stop sprawl and protect open spaces like the wetlands at the foot of central New Jersey's Sourland Mountains;
--Testified before the State Superior Court's Appellate Division as a Friend of the Court and expert on the intricacies of the State Plan;
--Partnered with the Whitman Administration in hosting a series of Sustainable State conferences and workshops
--Launched the nation's first Sustainable State process, bringing together a wide range of people and institutions to identify solutions to the most pressing challenges facing our state and work toward a common vision of what New Jersey should be.
New Jersey Future was created in the mid-1980s to respond to the simultaneous decline of New Jersey's major cities and the rapid spread of low-density suburban development, which were altering the geographic and social landscape of the state.
Chartered in 1987 by a group of New Jersey's civic, environmental and corporate leaders, New Jersey Future is dedicated to improving the quality of life in New Jersey. As a nonprofit, nonpartisan research and advocacy organization, New Jersey Future is able to bring together government, business, nonprofit groups and citizens to achieve a common goal of creating a sustainable state.
New Jersey Future's sole mission at its inception was the creation and adoption of the State Development and Redevelopment Plan. While support for the State Plan remains at the core of its mission, New Jersey Future's work has expanded to include advocating for planning, conservation and economic development policies that will lead to sustainable development in New Jersey.
You are invited to become part of a growing movement working to help our communities grow more sensibly, and our state to become more liveable.

Since its formation in 1979, WWC has focused on a simple truth: Public lands are a public issue. By educating, empowering and mobilizing the community, WWC has built a powerful grassroots network that has helped protect wild lands throughout the state. WWC successfully mobilized this network to raise the public support necessary to pass the 1984 Washington Wilderness Act. Today, these same strategies are being used in the battle to protect millions of acres of unroaded, ecologically critical forests that are rapidly being lost to logging, road building and poor stewardship.

Of Washington's 9 million acres of National Forest, only about a quarter has been protected as Wilderness. Another third still remains in its original wild state but is threatened by clearcut logging and sprawling development. Most of these remaining wild areas should be made Wilderness by Congress. At stake is the health of salmon, trout, bear, lynx, caribou, gray wolf and many other animal and plant species.
Wild Washington Campaign seeks to protect places like the Kettle River Range, Dark Divide, Abercrombie-Hooknose, North Fork Entiat, Golden Horn, Pasayten Rim, Sky Peaks and Upper Skokomish, to name just a few. Unless we act now, we risk losing these wilderness jewels forever. |
