Citizen’s Advisory Council

This public interest group meets the second Thursday of the month, usually* at 2 pm at Park Headquarters. Advisory Council members are appointed by the NJ State Department of Environmental Protection.

Meetings are open to the public and provide a forum for interested persons to voice their concerns and opinions about the NJ Section. By joining us at these meetings, you are gaining the opportunity to learn about your park and to share your ideas about what you would like to see happen here.

*Because schedules can change due to holidays and the like, and meeting times and places sometimes vary, visitors are advised to call ahead to confirm meetings:
