Dunellen tract, proposed for housing, now permanently open space.
“A 7.5-acre property where more than a dozen homes were slated to be built will now remain a mixture of woods and farmland along the Green Brook.”

As I read the article in the July 9th edition of the Star Ledger, I wondered what was it that made this tract of open space so appealing to the Middlesex County Open Space Fund. What did it have that the Villa Maria property lacked?

Been reading a little about “wild law” – legal systems that shift from anthropocentric regulations designed to facilitate human goals regardless of ecological impact toward earth-centered systems designed to explicitly recognize the reciprocal relationships between humans, n0n-humans and environments.
If others are interested, there’s a groundbreaking report on the status of such laws worldwide:
