oday we’re celebrating the birthday of Barbara Rich, who has spent more than 60 years advocating for the protection of Burlington County’s natural environment and wildlife.
Rich, a longtime Moorestown resident, co-founded the Rancocas Conservancy land trust for the Rancocas Creek watershed, and she was also instrumental in Burlington County’s vision for the Rancocas Greenway, a collection of more than 1,200 acres of preserved open space and parklands along the creek.
Last September, Burlington County opened the first 4-mile segment of the Rancocas Greenway Trail envisioned to someday travel the 30-mile length of the Rancocas, from its confluence with the Delaware River to its headwaters near the Burlington-Ocean County border.
Earlier this week, Burlington County Commissioner Allison Eckel participated in a special recognition ceremony for Rich held by Moorestown Township - Government. Senator Troy Singleton, Moorestown Mayor Nicole Gillespie and Burlington County Department of Resource Conservation Director Mary Pat Robbie and County Open Space Coordinator Matt Johnson also participated in the ceremony.
Rich has been a true ambassador for Burlington County’s environmental health and the entire county owes her a tremendous debt for her many years of service. We wish her a joyful birthday and many more to come.
