Hello Kinnelon resident - This site is for YOU - from neighbors who know that our actions today are impacting the health of planet Earth. Together, we're learning to 'think global and act local,' to create quality lifestyles, based on respect for creation, wisdom, and eco-friendly living. KC is open to all - no dues to join - just fun, information, and contact with some of the nicest, most far-sighted, environmentally protective people in town. Please email and let us know who you are so we can keep you informed of local environmental matters. Welcome!
Kinnelon Conserves is a grassroots environmental initiative conceived by
Avery Hart and co-founded with Jo Sippie-Gora. Working with members of school, government, library, faith leaders and interested residents, our members work to boost environmental awareness and take action to promote environmental sustainability locally. Arden Knudsen, Mary Derstine, Lori Cohen, Dana Spies, Susan Clancy, Donna Perch, Camille Gaines, Julia Puccia, Audrey Finn, Junie Moon, Janet Windeknecht, Pam Meredith, Library director Barbara Owen, Monsignor Carroll of OLM, David DeSmith of St. David's Church, Mayor Sisco and DWP head, John Whitehead, have contributed ideas and energy freely to make KC an effective initiative. We thank them and our student volunteers, including Connor Horton, Matt Vail, Richad Becker, Sam Scarfone, Kendall Finn, Marissa Weis, Ryan Neff, Justine Scarfone, Matt Scorza and others past and present. Our annual Earth Day Fair is created in cooperation with the amazing energetic and efficient educator Noreen LaFergula,. For 2 years, Anna Ellingtons and her awesome, hard-working KHS marketing class has created displays and conducted business to boost awareness of the danger of plastic water bottles. During 2007 - 2008, 285 residents signed on as members of Kinnelon Conserves, by taking a pledge to reduce their use of energy and natural resources. Kinnelon Conserves is not a 501C - It is an "out of pocket" all the way. If you would like to support our activities, please contact us. kinnconserves@optonline.net Copyright 2009

Thank you, Mayor Sisco and Council Members for preserving this pristine land with its vernal pools and ridge line vistas. Congratulations also to those who helped make it happen - the residents who took action and added their voices to make preservation a realitiy/ On the night of the vote, students Amanda Hagl, Mary Fischer, and Karmah Munem made excellent and persuasive arguments for the preservation, touching the hearts of all who heard their appeals.
