                        TRIBUTE TO JANET C. WOLF

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JIM SAXTON

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 14, 2002

  Mr. SAXTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Janet C. 
Wolf, who retires on June 1, 2002 after serving as Project Director of 
the National Park Service's New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail Route 
since its inception in 1988.
  A new idea for the National Park Service, instead of using 
traditional ownership, the Trail supports resource protection and 
awareness by linking destinations owned and managed by others through a 
series of interpretive theme trails: Maritime History, Coastal 
Habitats, Wildlife Migration, Historic Settlements, and Relaxation and 
Inspiration. Ms. Wolf shepherded this historic project from concept to 
reality.
  New Jersey's Coastal Heritage Trail includes portions of eight 
counties and six congressional districts. Almost 70 destinations, 
welcome centers and local information centers have been designated to 
date, with two additional themes under development. Janet's experience, 
determination and creativity enabled the partnerships to prosper. She 
also worked on developments for the Pinelands National Reserve and two 
Wild and Scenic Rivers in southern New Jersey.
  After 34 years of service with the National Park Service, half of 
which has been devoted to the New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail, Janet 
retires with the gratitude of the community for her commitment to the 
implementation of one of our state's most treasured resources, our 
Coastal Heritage Trail.
