“ADOPTS” LORD STIRLING ROAD
BASKING RIDGE, NJ – The “Adopt A Highway” application submitted by the Somerset County Park Commission Environmental Education Center (EEC), located at 190 Lord Stirling Road in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, has been approved by the New Jersey Department of Transportation.
Joining with Bernards Township’s “Adopt A Highway” programs, staff from the EEC will police the section of Lord Stirling Road between South Maple Avenue and White Bridge Road four times a year, maintaining a clean and litter-free roadway.
The initial clean up in the program took place on Friday, May 30, 2014. Among the items removed from the roadway were 1 car motor, 4 cans of paint, 1 bed frame, 4 bags of trash, and 5 bags of recyclables.
“Lord Stirling Road is our home and we feel an obligation to maintain it in the best condition possible,” commented Shawn McCrohan, Manager, Environmental Science for the Park Commission. “The Adopt A Highway Program provides us the opportunity to keep the road clean while participating in a much larger initiative keeping our roads and highways litter-free across the state.”
