Beekman Road Closed Monday, March 7

Beekman Road will be closed 6 p.m., Monday, March 7 until 6 a.m. , Tuesday, March 8. If you are planning to go, PLEASE FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS POSTED BELOW.

​BRING A FLASHLIGHT AND FOLLOW THESE SAFETY RULES!

SAFETY FIRST: A few VERY IMPORTANT Safety Rules! Please Read Them Thoroughly

Human Safety - 

• Beekman Road and Church Lane are always dark. Cars driving on them are moving fast and don't expect anyone there. It is simply DANGEROUS and extreme caution is the rule!
• NEVER walk Beekman Road when it is not closed.
• NEVER let children cross Church Lane without holding their hand.
• Wear bright colored clothing so you are highly visible. 

Parking -

• Parking is best at the small county lot on Beekman Road (accessed from White Pine on the South Brunswick side) just before the closure and on Crispin Lane off of Church.
• Do NOT park in front of the barriers.
• Use exceptional caution when parking as it is often dark and rainy and visibility of visitors and other cars maybe limited. 

Amphibian Safety - 

• EVERYONE must have a flashlight. Phone flashlights are useless. Without a good strong bright flashlight there is a real risk of stepping on an amphibian, which completely defeats the point of our protection plan.

 

• PLEASE DO NOT handle the amphibians. They are slippery and easy to drop and our hands can transfer oils that are harmful to them. They know where they are going, so just enjoy them as they cross and take lots of photographs!
