New Trail Guide for Walks In And Around Princeton Creators of WALKTHE TRAILS IN AND AROUND PRINCETON

WALK THE TRAILS IN AND AROUND PRINCETON
The year 2009 marked the 20th anniversary of D&R Greenway's founding and the 175th anniversary of the D&R Canal, which inspired our first preservation goal to permanently protect the land surrounding and buffering this important water resource. Sophie Glovier, an active supporter of D&R Greenway and former trustee, is the author of a brand new trail book, Walk The Trails In And Around Princeton. Sophie along with Bentley Drezner, a well-known photographer, compiled some wonderful trail guides, along with interesting highlights along the trail. You may click here to e-mail a request for the book or call 609.924.4646.
