LIVINGSTON TRAILS AND GREENWAYS PLAN Livingston Open Space Trust Committee/ Livingston Environmental Commission 357 South Livingston Ave. Livingston, NJ 07039 LIVINGSTON ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION LIVINGSTON OPEN SPACE TRUST COMMITTEE   Exploring the Parks and Trails of Livingston A video by Laura Moritzen for her Girl Scout Gold Award posted September 2, 2011        The Livingston Open Space Committee & Livingston Environmental Commission worked together with the Morris Land Conservancy to develop a Trails & Greenways Plan for the Township. Morris Land Conservancy is a member supported non-profit organization founded in 1981.  The Plan was published in July 2007. The Township owns 428 acres of parkland in the Township and is home to two county parks totaling 414 acres (primarily West Essex Park).  Nearly one-tenth of Livingston is currently preserved parkland.  Not included in this number are the landholdings of the East Orange Water Reserve and the New Jersey American Water Company, totaling 1,817 acres of watershed property in the Township. The Township of Livingston was one of the 31 communities awarded a matching Smart Growth Planning Assistance Grant from ANJEC (Association of NJ Environmental Commissions) for the preparation of the Trails & Greenways Plan.  Matching funding for this grant has been provided by the Township, including credit for the in-kind services for the volunteers working on this project.  ANJEC’s Smart Growth Grant program fosters local land use planning initiatives such as: groundwater studies; mapping of critical resources such as streams, groundwater, wetlands and steep slopes; and environmental reviews of municipal master plans, zoning and ordinances. Some grants help towns cover the cost of revising zoning codes, developing greenway, open space or farmland preservation plans, or crafting new ordinances to protect natural resources, discourage sprawl and create livable, pedestrian-friendly communities.   VIEW THE TRAILS & GREENWAYS PLAN published July 2007 This is a large file that may take a while to download.
