Lehigh Gap Nature Center
HISTORY
"In 2002, the Wildlife Information Center, since renamed Lehigh Gap Nature Center,[1] purchased more than 750 acres (3.0 km2) near Lehigh Gap. Their goal is to restore the wildlife along the Kittatinny Ridge. From 1898 to 1980, the New Jersey Zinc Company emitted sulfur dioxide at rates of up to 3,600 pounds per hour, killing plant life and animal habitats. Twenty years later, a noticeable lack of tree density remains on the Palmerton side of the gap."
