Princeton Seeks $300K Grant for Invasive Species Management and Native Tree Planting
Princeton is pursuing a $300,000 grant to manage invasive species and plant native trees on Princeton Ridge. The project aims to enhance soil stability, reduce stormwater runoff, and improve carbon sequestration. Environmental safeguards include timing vegetation removal to avoid nesting birds and conducting wildlife surveys. The project area is near Herrontown Woods and Autumn Hill, with plans for future trail connections to downtown Princeton.

Princeton is seeking a $300,000 grant to manage invasive species and plant native trees on Princeton Ridge. The project aims to enhance surrounding forest health by improving soil stability, reducing stormwater runoff toward protected wetlands, and increasing carbon sequestration.
Environmental safeguards involve scheduling vegetation removal in late fall to avoid disrupting nesting birds, conducting herpetofauna surveys, and limiting machinery use during wet conditions. The project area is near Herrontown Woods and Autumn Hill, with potential trail connections to downtown Princeton.
