Friends of West Windsor Open Space (FOWWOS) was founded in 1996. This nonpartisan group of concerned citizens advocates preservation of the remaining open space in West Windsor Township, Mercer County, New Jersey. Since FOWWOS is a fully non-profit and tax-exempt organization, incorporated under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, all contributions to it are fully tax deductible.

The objectives of FOWWOS are to:

1. Promote the preservation of open space in West Windsor,
2. Encourage and assist the local government in its open space and conservation programs,
3. Raise funds toward the purchase of open space,
4. Foster the study of natural resource conservation in West Windsor,
5. Encourage farmland preservation and,
6. Engage in other charitable and educational activities related to open space conservation that may be appropriate.

FOWWOS has emphasized public education on open space issues, and advocates and facilitates open space land purchases by the Township. In the Township's most recent purchase, FOWWOS was, itself, able to contribute its direct financial support toward the purchase of land for preservation .with funds raised through membership dues.

The purpose of this web site is to provide the interested public with information on FOWWOS, points of contact and our recent and most current activities.

FOWWOS generally meets on the first Tuesday of every month. The meetings are held in the Township Hall, starting at 7:30 pm. All members, as well as others who are interested are invited, to attend.

As a volunteer organization, FOWWOS needs help with many of our programs. If you are interested, please call Mike Schuit at (609) 799-4868.
