The event will begin at 11:45 AM at the Echo Lake Country Club, located at 515 Springfield Avenue, Westfield. The Watchung Reservation is an oasis in the densely populated Union County.

They will outline their journey in acting to preserve the forest and wildlife of the Watchung Reservation including their recent success in helping to prevent mountain biking through the forest trails.  Those wishing to attend the luncheon may make a reservation by calling or emailing Carol at 908-654-1794; westfieldhistoricalsociety@gmail.com.
