Babbu has fond memories of Liberty State Park and always wondered what efforts it took to protect it.

So he invited Sam Pesin, President of the Friends of Liberty State Park (8:40) to explain the decades long fight to preserve it, the battles he's had to fight, & the stories going back to when the park was first founded to now.

The current battle is protecting Caven Point, a bird sanctuary that is being considered for three golf holes for Liberty National; something that benefits few under the presumption of many.

Sam's just like the bhoys... he's just seen it longer. The fight goes on.
