Highlands Highlights

Encompassing nearly two-million acres in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut, the Highlands region lies within two hours travel of 20 million people and provides clean drinking water to over 11 million people.

On July 3, 2002, the Sierra Club, in partnership with The Highlands Coalition, Appalachian Mountain Club, Regional Plan Association, New York and New Jersey Trail Conference and the New Jersey Conservation Foundation, released a "Discover the Wild Highlands" map, which designates the region's parks and trail systems.

The map also highlights critical species in the region - from bald eagles (the national bird of the U.S. and the largest bird of prey in the Eastern U.S.) to beavers (the state mammal of New York and the largest rodent in the Highlands) - and the importance of protecting their diminishing habitats.

For more information about the Highlands, contact New Jersey Chapter Chair Tina Schvejda: tschvejda@mindspring.com.
