Natural Awakenings North Central New Jersey

Pedal to Preserve the Best of New Jersey

Get your heart pumping and feet pedaling for a great cause on Sunday, June 3, as the Land Conservancy of New Jersey (TLC-NJ) hosts its first Pedal for Preservation bike event. Participants will ride on the Columbia Trail, a Rail to Trail route that is known as one of the most beautiful rides in New Jersey. Riders will start and finish at West Morris Central High School, 259 Bartley Rd, Chester.

The Land Conservancy of New Jersey, headquartered in Boonton, is a nonprofit member-supported organization dedicated to preserving and protecting New Jersey’s vital natural lands and drinking water resources. The Pedal for Preservation event offers the chance to team up with TLC-NJ by participating as a rider, team member, sponsor, donor or  volunteer. Pay a flat registration fee or help fundraise by getting friends and family to sponsor your ride. Registration on the day of the event begins at 8am.

According to Conservancy president David Epstein, “This family friendly off-road biking experience is geared toward riders of all biking abilities. The day will feature good food,
a great ride, and fun for everyone. Best of all, riders will be pedaling to preserve the best of New Jersey—the beautiful natural lands that are so special to us all!” Proceeds from Pedal for Preservation will help fund the Land Conservancy of New Jersey’s land preservation work.

5 Top Tips to Finding Your Next Doctor

1 Keep an Open Mind! Healthcare has come a long way. Today, you have access to practitioners that branch outside of traditional medicine and aim to identify the root causes of conditions while using alternative treatments that may help you get the relief you need. Just because it’s not a pill, doesn’t make it pseudoscience.

2 Build Your Health Care Team. There is no one doctor that can be the be-all-end-all for your health needs. Be sure to have a team of practitioners with different “lenses” and areas of expertise who will treat the root cause and not just the symptom(s).

3   Environment Influences Healing. Health is multi-factorial. Your mental and emotional environment plays a pivotal role in your healing potential. Your doctors and their staff should create an office atmosphere filled with positivity so you can get the most out of your care.

4 Your Story Matters.  Before you begin any treatment, be sure to have a comprehensive consultation to discuss your health concerns. Find practitioners who welcome questions and will take the time to listen and treat you with respect.

5 Report of Findings. When it comes to our health, we often make decisions without understanding the risk versus benefits. Knowledge is an important part of the healing process and is essential to make conscious, informed health decisions. Find practitioners who take the time to explain their exam findings and the recommendations for treatment in ways that make sense to you.
