Witmer Stone Sanctuary Committee

Mick Jeiter - Chairperson
Linda Rowan

The purpose of this committee is to encourage the state to designate part of the property it already owns in Cape May Point State Park as the Witmer Stone Sanctuary. You may remember the photo shown by Pat and Clay Sutton at 2008 banquet program, with Mr. Stone standing in front of the sign for the Witmer Stone Sanctuary. We are hoping for the restoration of this designation to honor a man who did a great deal for both conservation and who was closely associated with DVOC.
