The WRWMG, North Jersey Resource Conservation Development Council, and
Lafayette Township, along with more than 20 volunteers from the various
northwest New Jersey Wal-Mart stores, as part of the Morris Land
Conservancy's Partners for Parks Program, has successfully completed a
Riparian Buffer Restoration Project along the banks of the Paulins Kill, in
Lafayette Township Park. More than 100 native trees and shrubs were planted
