Saums Farm, Rockafellows Mill Road, Readington Township p r e s e r v e r u r A l r e A d I n g t o n Readington Township has a long history of being a pioneer with both Open Space and Farmland preservation. Recently, the Readington Open Space Advisory Board (OSAB) and Agricultural Land Advisory Committee launched the Preserve Rural Readington Facebook page as a way to communicate to Hunterdon residents the value of Readington's rural environment, preservation of open space and farmland, and protection of natural resources. The goal of all of these preservation efforts is to conserve and safeguard our rural lands, wildlife, water supply, and the Hunterdon way of life, while also being financially responsible by using grants to fund acquisitions.
