FOPOS
Those seeking a relaxing walk at Mountain Lakes and adjoining preserves will have noticed many improvements to trails of late. FOPOS board members and other volunteers have been hard at work bridging muddy sections and removing invasive shrubs along the trails. The above photo is from Nov. 22. Left to right are Clark Lennon, Ted Thomas, Andrew Thornton, Wendy Mager and Nick Wilson. Also Charlie (the one wearing a fur coat). Not shown, Eric Tazelaar.

Carleton became the second executive director of the Pinelands Preservation Alliance in 1998. An attorney by training, he practiced law at Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson in its Washington, D.C. office for nearly 12 years, the last four years as a partner in the firm’s litigation practice. Since joining the Alliance, Carleton has worked with his colleagues to strengthen both its advocacy and its education initiatives, with the goal of ensuring the New Jersey Pine Barrens ecosystem will survive, and its regional conservation and sustainable development will succeed, in the nation’s most crowded state. Carleton has a B.A. from Harvard University and an M. Phil. from University College London, both in philosophy, and a J.D. from Harvard Law School. In addition to the NJ League of Conservation Voters, he serves on the boards of the Woodford Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge, the Coalition for Affordable Housing and the Environment, and New Jersey Future.
