Friends of Princeton Nursery Lands

Interested in open space, the natural world and/or historic preservation ? If so, we invite you to join the Friends of Princeton Nursery Lands (FPNL).

FPNL is dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of the historic and natural resources of the former Princeton Nurseries Kingston Site in Kingston, NJ. Please join us for one of our events at the Mapleton Preserve in Kingston!

Princeton Nurseries was one of the largest wholesale tree nurseries in the US. The core of nursery (and several historic buildings) have now been preserved as open space. It is a fabulous place to hike, bird, and study the wonders of nature.

FPNL (www.fpnl.org) is a friends group for the property. We hold lots of events (e.g. birdwalks, nature walks, photography workshops, tracking events, horticulture and history talks) that are open to all. We also seek volunteers who want to help us reach our goals, which include the following.

o Restoration of historic buildings and landscape at the Princeton Nurseries Kingston Site

o Listing of the site on the State and National Historic Registers

o Development of educational/interpretive facilities

o Establishment of paths, and connections to other historic and natural resources

o Preparation of interpretive literature, maps, and guides

o Organizing interpretive and educational walks, talks and programs

o Working with other organizations to achieve common goals

o Obtaining funding to achieve the above goals.
