Friends of the Hopewell Quarry, a nonprofit organization that purchased over seven historic acres of open space at 180 Crusher Road in 2021, is making yet another splash.
The FoHQ has launched a new community partnership with the Watershed Institute, a Pennington environmental protection group that shares a similar desire to preserve natural resources for local communities.
“We are excited to be partnering with the Friends of the Quarry and look forward to the Quarry being one of our neighbors for years to come,” says Jim Waltman, executive director of The Watershed Institute. “It was a great new experience for our campers to be able to hike to the Quarry and swim for the afternoon in the pool and quarry.”
The FoHQ, which was formed to protect the one-acre public swimming hole and recreational site that formerly operated as the Quarry Swimming Club, expressed gratitude for the Watershed Institute’s support in maintaining the site.
“The FoHQ board is pleased to add the Watershed campers and staff to their robust community of annual campers that enjoy the old-fashioned swimming hole experience of a small town,” the press release continues.
