Trails to be developed at Capik through grant SAYREVILLE — The borough will receive $25,000 to develop and improve trails in and around the Julian Capik Nature Preserve, Bordentown Avenue. The trails will be the latest amenities at a preserve that already includes a horseback-riding stable, a dog park and opportunities for hiking, fishing, biking and archery, according to Councilman Stanley Drwal. He thanked state Assemblyman John S. Wisniewski for “helping to secure these much-needed funds,” said borough Councilman Stanley Drwal. “This grant will go a long way in enhancing the Capik Nature Preserve,” Drwal said. Wisniewski called the Capik preserve “one of the borough’s greatest natural assets” and said that is thanks to Drwal’s work to improve the park. “These funds will help continue that mission and add to the recreational opportunities already available at the park,” Wisniewski said. More than $730,000 from the federal Highway Administration’s Recreational Trails Program has been approved for 40 trail projects in New Jersey. The 40 trail projects were recommended for funding by the New Jersey Trails Council and approved by the Federal Highway Administration under the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act. The state DEP’s Office of Natural Lands Management administers the program. The Trails Council is made up of representatives from hiking, mountain biking, motorized trail use, canoeing/kayaking and horseback riding interest groups, as well as several general trail advocates and representatives from state government.
