Do you want to visit Princeton’s hidden parks and paths? Find a great picnic site? See the 250-year old Stamp Act trees? Learn about a green roof project on Princeton campus? Then check out Sustainable Princeton’s online, interactive Green Map on our resource page!
D&R Canal State Park is one of the sites on the Green Map - great for biking or walking!
We have 60 sites mapped so far on the “Princeton Green Connections” Green Map, including our parks and other “green” places, eco-information sites, special trees, biking routes, hiking trails, and more.
Where is your favorite green place in Princeton? And why is it special? We invite everyone to help add more sites, comments, photos, etc. to the map. Just click on the map icons and routes, and you will see options for adding comments/photos, and even rating the site’s impacts!
Check the map to find these 300-year old "Stamp Act" trees...and other special trees!
We would like to start other Green Map themes in the future, focusing on green building technology, green/sustainable businesses, green events/tours, etc. Please contact Andrea Malcolm if you are interested in helping us expand the “Princeton Green Connections” Green Map and/or coordinating a new green map for our community.
Use the paved path at Community Park South to connect to other sites on the Green Map.
