Our Mission
- Save Wagner Farm
- Preserve Open Space in Warren
As residents of Warren Township, we love open space. But development is threatening too much of it, especially ecologically sensitive land. Over 10 acres of Wagner Farm open space will soon be replaced by a residential complex of seven buildings, a sewer plant and massive regrading/fill unless you help us stop it.
The township purchased Wagner Farm for the purpose of conservation, ecological protection, and open space and recreation. But that has been ignored by the Township Committee and Planning Board by approving development on Wagner Farm! Please take action now to stop this unwise development. You can
Wagner Farm is enjoyed by area residents, gardeners, birders, canoers, astronomers and outdoor enthusiasts. Much of this enjoyment will be lost if we don’t act now. Along with an important Warren landmark.

Who We Are
We are your Warren Neighbors concerned about losing open
space.
We are especially concerned about Warren’s largest open space: the former Wagner Farm.
George Vetter has led legal and other efforts to stop development on Wagner Farm. We are doing everything we can to help. We hope you will too.
Our Gallery
Wagner Farm is one of few spaces in Warren, and certainly the largest, with open vistas, open skies and green space. It is also habitat for many forms of wildlife, birds, and plants, including endangered species. Please help us keep it undeveloped!
