Remember to Recreate Responsibly

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

Since the start of the Pandemic, we have seen increased usage of our parks. As an avid user of our open spaces, I have always viewed our hiking trails as some of Mendham Township’s best kept secrets. Though, over the last few months, it is clear that our local secret is out! If you go online you can see Buttermilk Falls listed as a prime hiking destination in the Northeast. This is a testament to its beauty and the good conservation work that has been done over the years to maintain the park. Unfortunately over the last few weekends, there have been reports of overcrowding, littering, and the consumption of alcohol on park grounds. Our Mendham Township Police Department has been proactive in addressing these issues by interfacing with both residents and park-goers, posting signage, and ensuring that traffic and parking guidelines are being followed. If you choose to visit Buttermilk Falls this weekend, please carry in and carry out all of your trash and garbage. Also, be aware that grilling, fires, and alcohol are not permitted in any of the Township’s parks. Starting this weekend, the Police Department will be restricting parking and closing lots once they are at capacity to ensure there is no overcrowding of the Falls area. Additionally, they will be patrolling the area regularly. Most of the time, hiking can be a wonderful activity for social distancing, so I encourage you to participate. In addition to Buttermilk Falls, the Township has several other trails that are waiting to be discovered. When I hike at Meadowood, Tempe Wick Preserve, Mosle (just to name a few!), I rarely encounter other people. If you are thinking of going hiking with your family this weekend, I encourage you to check out these beautiful areas. For more information visit: https://www.hikemendham.org<https://www.hikemendham.org/> Spending time outdoors can help you stay healthy, but please recreate responsibly. Happy Trails and have a great weekend! Sarah Neibart Mayor, Mendham Township

Mendham Township: Wear a Mask and Recreate Responsibly this Summer!

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

Get out and explore our community, but don't forget to bring a mask. In an effort to ensure that all Mendham Township residents have a mask on them when going into public spaces, we are launching a "Wear a Mask Campaign". Instructions: Pick up a white, blank mask from David Guida, grab your fabric markers and decorate the mask how ever you would like! Then, take a picture of yourself, wearing your decorated mask at your favorite spot in Mendham Township! This can be at your home, hiking a trail, enjoying dinner at a restaurant, at Brookside Beach, or watching a sports game! Submission: Submit your photo to dguida(a)mendhamtownship.org no later than August 15th. Photos will be posted on Facebook as they come in! Mask Pick Up: Email dguida(a)mendhamtownship.org to set up a time to pick up a white, blank mask. Or, stop by Brookside Beach to get your mask beginning on Wednesday, July 15th! A mask is worn to prevent the droplets that fly out of our mouths - when we speak, not just when we cough or sneeze - from being inhaled by those nearby. So, as we do our best to maintain at least 6 feet away from one another, our masks add another level of protection. [cid:b49a8eb9-bd6f-42cb-bd9c-9cf71d467438]

Travel Advisory

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

As you finalize any remaining travel plans, please be aware of the Travel Advisory issued by Governor Murphy on June 24th. This advisory applies to all individuals - NJ residents and non-NJ residents - traveling from states with a positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents over a 7-day rolling average or a state with a 10% or higher positivity rate over a 7-day rolling average. These individuals are to quarantine for a 14-day period from the time of last contact within the identified state. For more detailed information please go to the NJ FAQ page: https://bit.ly/3efgtKN As of July 7th, the following 19 states are listed on the NJ COVID-19 Information Hub: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah. This list is updated weekly depending upon the pandemic status in each state. As COVID-19 cases rise across the country, the goal of the Travel Advisory is to minimize the impact on New Jersey by preventing the start of an outbreak in our state. Although we cannot restrict your vacation and travel plans, it is critical that you are aware of the potential risk of exposure when traveling to certain areas. Although compliance to this advisory is voluntary, the state is expecting individuals to self-quarantine upon arrival from a state with significant community spread. Additionally, if you decide to travel to one of these states, please get tested when you arrive back in New Jersey. There are now more than 255 locations in the state to get tested. Visit covid19.nj.gov/testing<https://covid19.nj.gov/pages/testing> to find a testing site or talk to your doctor. Testing is available for all residents who want it or need it. If uninsured, multiple sites throughout the state will still provide a test, with a number of free testing opportunities. To prevent an outbreak in our community, it is critical that you do your best to follow this guidance and get tested. If you need assistance in finding a safe place to quarantine, the Morris County Office of Health Management is happy to assist. Have a good weekend, and stay well. Sarah Neibart Mayor, Mendham Township
