HONORING
the US Navy and our Partners at NWS Earle
MCF is pleased to recognize the US Navy and our partners at Naval Weapons Station (NWS) Earle for their support and collaboration to permanently protect lands buffering Earle’s nearly 12,000 acres. With over $3 million in federal funding awarded thus far through the US Department of Defense REPI program since 2018, MCF and Monmouth County have been working with NWS Earle and municipalities to preserve land surrounding the base, which transects the County from the Leonardo community in Middletown through Colts Neck to Howell and contains one of the largest wooded areas in Monmouth. This honor is bestowed on the heels of our inaugural conservation projects achieved through this partnership – preserving 255 acres encompassing two properties in Howell and Colts Neck in 2023 and greatly benefiting our community.
