  • Green Acres Program
    NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION GREEN ACRES PROGRAM 2017 Grants and Loans to Local Governments and Nonprofit Organizations for Open Space Acquisition, Park Development, and Stewardship Projects PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS Chris Christie Bob Martin Governor Commissioner THE GREEN ACRES MISSION To achieve, in partnership with others, a system of interconnected open spaces, the protection of which will preserve and enhance New Jersey's natural environment and its historic, scenic, General Overview The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Green Acres Program will provide nearly $80.7 million in funding to local governments and nonprofit land trusts to acquire open space, develop parks, and perform stewardship activities on parks throughout New Jersey. This round of projects approved by the Garden State Preservation Trust (GSPT) includes $37.14 million for local (municipal and county) land acquisition projects, $33.17 million for local development of parks and recreational facilities, $5.79 million for acquisition projects by nonprofit organizations, and $2.45 million for recreational development by nonprofits. This funding comes from the Preserve New Jersey Act (P.L. 2016, C12), the enabling legislation for funding approved by voters in 2014, as well as loan and interest repayments, interest earnings, and previously approved projects that did not come to fruition. The Preserve New Jersey Act provided funding specifically for stewardship activities, and these recommendations include $1.38 million for local stewardship projects and nearly $748,000 for nonprofit stewardship projects. New Jersey’s Green Acres program was created in 1961 to meet the State’s growing recreation and conservation needs. Together with public and private partners, Green Acres has protected over 690,000 acres of open space and provided hundreds of outdoor recreational facilities in communities around the State.
