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 awareness group conceived by
Avery Hart Mantell, and co-founded with Jo Sippie-Gora, Mary Derstine, Janet Windeknecht, and Pam Meredith. The group expanded with the help of Lori Cohen, Dana Spies, Susan Clancy, Donna Perch, Camille Gaines, Randi Freeman, Barbara Heap, Julia Puccia, Audrey Finn, Fran Stone, Junie Moon, and others. Library director Barbara Owen, Monsignor Carroll of OLM, David DeSmith of St. Davids Church, Mayor Sisco and DWP head John Whitehead have supported KC programs with word and deed. We thank them and equal to that thanks a big cheer to our student volunteers who include Connor Horton, Matt Vail, Richad Becker, Kendall Finn, Marissa Weis, Ryan Neff, Justine Scarfone, Matt Scorza. Our Earth Day Fair could not exist without the magic of Kinnelon educator Noreen LaFergula, media teacher Ms. Lonewsky, and Anna Ellingtons and her awesome, hard-working KHS marketing class.
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 all-volunteer effort, "out of pocket" all the way. If you would like to support our environmental education activities, please contact us. kinnconserves@optonline.net Copyright 2009
