Funds For The Woods

A recent gathering marked the $3,000 donation from the Whole Earth Center to the Friends of Herrontown Woods. Left to right: FOHW president Steve Hiltner, WEC board member Agnes Mironov, and FOHW board members Ahmed Azmy, Jon Johnson, and Inge Regan. The donation will go to the continuing restoration of trails and habitat at Herrontown Woods in northeast Princeton, and renovation of the Oswald Veblen house, barn, and cottage. Veblen, a Princeton University mathematics professor instrumental in the founding of the Institute for Advanced Study, donated much of his land to Mercer County in 1957 to form Princeton’s first nature preserve.
