Protect what makes
Mendham… Mendham.

The Stakes
Why this matters
The Sisters of Christian Charity property contains irreplaceable natural and historic resources. Once these decisions are made, they cannot be undone.
Headwaters & groundwater
Critical headwater streams and groundwater recharge zones that serve the broader watershed, irreplaceable once disrupted by impervious surface.

Forest canopy
Mature contiguous forest provides corridors for native wildlife. High-density development would permanently fragment these irreplaceable systems.

Historic structures & landscape
The site contains historic structures and a cultural landscape of recognized significance. Demolition or irreversible alteration cannot be undone.

Habitat & infrastructure
The property supports native wildlife corridors. High-density development brings roads, lights, and runoff, with zero infrastructure capacity analysis completed.
