Why do people care about the Princeton Nursery Lands?
The Nursery Lands lie along the Delaware and Raritan Canal, which is surrounded by the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park. Many people from central New Jersey use the D&R Canal tow paths for recreation– jogging, bird watching, bicycling and fishing. The Nursery Lands are part of the landscape, and in a portion of the canal where the state park was only a few feet wider than the canal itself. Preservation of key sections of the Princeton Nursery Lands provided a much needed buffer for the park, as well as a large section of the greenbelt for the historic village of Kingston.
