The Rancocas Creek Main Branches Greenway Plan has been developed as a "how-to" guide for the Rancocas Conservancy, Burlington County, the 11 study area municipalities, the state Green Acres Department, and residents interested in protecting the creek environment and people's enjoyment of it. The greenway planning area extends between the Rancocas Creek State Park upstream to the Pinelands border on the North and South branches, and to the Barton's Run headwaters of the Southwest Branch. Through research, analysis and public outreach, four main issues have come forth regarding parcel preservation, recreational opportunities, eco-tourism, and intermunicipal and interagency cooperation. In addition to identifying these issues, the plan attempts to provide a rationale for why they are important, and it proposes recommended actions that, if implemented, will serve to address them.Geographic Area Covered: The greenway study area generally covers parcels adjacent to the North, South and Southwest Branches of the Rancocas Creek in the following municipalities: Evesham Township, Eastampton Township, Hainesport Township, Lumberton Township, Medford Township, Mt. Holly Township, Pemberton Borough, Pemberton Township, Southampton Township, and Westampton Township, in Burlington County, and the plan covers parcels adjacent to the Barton's Run Tributary of the Southwest Branch in Voorhees Township, Camden County.
Key Words: Greenway, stream corridor, environmental protection, trails, canoes, historic resources, conservation, acquisitions, conservation easements, land use regulations
