Geothermal System is Complete!

We are pleased to announce that the installation of our new geothermal heating and cooling system was completed on Monday 06/14! The last of the mechanical hook-ups and tests took place and the well was synchronized with the interior pump and furnace so that the well water enters the building at the best possible speed to increase efficiency. The air conditioning is now up and running, much to our relief!

The Land Conservancy of New Jersey would like to extend our gratitude to Montville Township which leases us this property, the F.M. Kirby Foundation which provided funding for this exciting project, and all our contractors and expert consultants. This is a big step in our effort to make our WildAcres headquarters sustainable and to keep The Land Conservancy at a high standard of what it means to be green.

Next we must restore the meadow that was unearthed during construction of the well. The process is set to begin on Monday 06/21. Volunteers will pick rocks, rake, and replant the meadow, restoring its natural beauty.

The geothermal well construction site will be replanted Monday.
