Awards

The Friends of Foote's Pond Wood has received several accolades over the years. While we do not like to brag, we must acknowledge how contributions of time from so many members of the greater Morristown community are the reason that FoFPW received these awards. Thank you to all - you should be proud!

NJ Urban & Community Forestry Awards: 
Individual Achievement, Susan and John Landau
2026

Susan and John Landau joined the Morristown Shade Tree Commission eight years ago with the goal of restoring Foote’s Pond Wood. They led volunteers in removing invasive plants, planting a meadow, and eventually organizing a team of 300 community helpers, including local civic groups and students. Their efforts resulted in hundreds of thriving native plants and the creation of an outdoor teaching circle for elementary students, where children adopt and plant trees while learning about the importance of native forests. John and Susan brought education and awareness to a new level through their passion and dedication.
