History of the Island
Sign the Petition
Please help save Burlington Island, Burlington, NJ from having dredge spoils dumped on it. Dredge spoils will destroy the natural environment that fosters the deer, fish and other animals that call the island home. Dredge spoils will also bury the ancient Native American village, burial and ceremonial grounds on the Island.
