GREEN TEAM NEWS
Back to School = new sneakers
please consider donating you old sneakers in the MORE drop off box at the municipal building
MORE is on track to plant 1 million trees by 2024. This is all possible because of your support and donations. MORE has planted 200,000 trees in 200 schoolyards across capital Accra, in Ghana West Africa. These schools now hold so much potential for learning, economic development, and environmental change. Faculty and Students are motivated to do MORE.
The immediate impact is local with long-term global change. Planting these million trees in schoolyards will produce billions of tree seeds for countrywide reforestation, which will reduce global warming, increase rainfall, reduce air pollution, provide livelihoods, and protect wildlife. Natural climate solutions can pull down (sequester) carbon and address the climate crisis.

ATTENTION DOG WALKERS - The RVA Fields' path is a wonderful place to walk your dog, but there are some dog owners who are allowing their dogs to run off-leash and/or are not picking up after their dogs. If this continues we may need to prohibit dogs at the fields. Please be a considerate dog walker and if you see others who are not, remind them to be considerate so as to not spoil it for others. Thank you.

PATHWAYS OF HISTORY 10TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
A SELF-GUIDED AUTO TOUR! FAMILY FRIENDLY! ADMISSION-FREE!
BEGIN YOUR TOUR AT THE OSCAR A. KINCAID HOME OF HISTORY
Saturday, September 21 ~~ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm and Sunday, September 22 ~~ Noon – 4:00 pm
The Pathways of History tour began in 2010 as an experiment to generate interest in and visitation of small, local museums and iconic landmarks. Each year the Pathways of History tour has continued to grow, becoming a much anticipated annual event full of surprises and revelations. This year’s participants include 18 groups and 20 historic properties spanning almost 300 years of Morris County history! The communities represented are Boonton, Boonton Township, Denville, Dover, Florham Park, Kinnelon, Lake Hopatcong, Mine Hill, Montville Township, Mount Tabor, Parsippany, Pequannock Township, Randolph, Rockaway Township, Roxbury Township and Washington Township. Pathways is not an ordinary event – it’s an extraordinary event providing the unprecedented opportunity to visit multiple museums over two days.
Many things have changed at venues during the past ten years. You will be delighted by the meticulous restorations at Boonton Township’s Oscar A. Kincaid Home of History; L’Ecole Kinnelon Museum; Florham Park’s Little Red Schoolhouse; Rockaway Township’s Ford-Faesch Ironmaster’s House; Mine Hill’s Bridget Smith House; Montville’s Museum and Washington Township Land Trust’s Obadiah LaTourette Grist Mill.
Make this a family day – drive your vintage automobile, bring the kiddies and grandparents, too! Friendly docents, some in period costume, will provide a warm welcome at each tour stop. There will be special activities for children; archival material; genealogical information; digitized historical photographs; old newspapers and even high school yearbooks to peruse at select locations. There are wonderful vignettes depicting 19th and early 20th century schoolrooms, a prominent woman doctor’s early 20th century “examining room,” an iron mine re-creation and examples of 18th century fireplaces with hearthside cooking utensils
At each venue you will find the NEWLY DESIGNED TOUR GUIDE/MAP to direct you to your next history stop of choice. Helpful “Auto Tours Within the Tour” have been created to assist in planning your itinerary.
