NOTICE: On February 5, 2025, he all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit Friends of West Windsor Open Space (FOWWOS) submitted a grant application to Green Acres for funding for the proposed "Moses Tunda Tatamy Trail" - an initiative to convert a non-public access road into a public history/nature trail. This trail would be developed within the following blocks/lots. Further details are provided in the "Project Overview" section below.
The FOWWOS February 5, 2025 Green Acres funding application to establish said trail is available for review at the West Windsor Municipal Building. Please contact Allison Sheehan, Township Clerk, at (609) 799-2400 to schedule an appointment to review the application.
PROJECT OVERVIEW: FOWWOS is spearheading a project to convert a pre-existing access road into a publicly accessible history and nature trail, titled “Tatamy’s Swamp Trail.” This road is currently used by West Windsor Township and passes through Township-owned woodland. The stream Duck Pond Run crosses this road in at least one location. The trail will span two segments: (1) Penn Lyle Road to North Post Road, and (2) a separate segment connecting the intersection of Jacob Drive and North Post Road to a Township-owned pump station, roughly 1,970 feet northwest of said intersection. A roughly 450-foot sidewalk or walkway, along North Post Road, will connect the two segments.
The completed interpretive trail will be lined with crushed gravel and cross North Post Road and Penn Lyle Road via high-visibility crosswalks and rectangular rapid flashing beacons. The trail will include seating for pedestrians as well as interpretive historical markers describing the history and significance of (1) the Township’s original residents, the indigenous “Leni Lenape,” and (2) the life and legacy of Moses Tunda Tatamy – a significant Leni Lenape leader of the 1700s, who is associated with this land.
