Star Ledger: Religious group fights against Green Acres land protection in Edison
Robert Spiegel, Executive Director of Edison Wetlands Association, Jill Weislo, an intern from Manchester, England, and David Wheeler, director of operations for Edison Wetlands Association, spot a bird while giving a tour of the Visco parcel in the Dismal Swamp last year.
It’s church vs. nature. For years, Jehovah’s Witnesses have planned to erect a kingdom hall in Edison on one of the last private tracts of land in the Dismal Swamp wildlife sanctuary. The 3-acre property was donated by the widow of a prominent developer.
But there’s a problem: Because the property is landlocked, the religious group needs to build an access road through 1/10th of an acre of township land preserved as open space.
