As a result, thousands of residents of the area lost their homes and other properties to government acquisition. David Pierce will share the fascinating story of the fight to defeat the Tocks Island dam during the dawn of the modern environmental movement. Starting with one local citizen, a grassroots coalition brought attention to, and ultimately, stopped the dam and changed the course of local history.
