Conservation NEW JERSEY CONSERVATION Saving Land A Directory of Land Conservation Organizations in New Jersey 2017 Cover photo: Hill & Dale Preserve from www.njconservation.org. 2 Saving Land A Directory of Land Conservation Organizations in New Jersey August 2017 Compiled by New Jersey Conservation Foundation With the following Volunteers: Anne Gaus Ali Hiple Ash Kumar Kirill Leshiner John Romanko Valerie Snow Visit www.njconservation.org to view the directory online. 3 Celebrate Saving Land! Thank you to the 112 nonprofit conservation organi- zations working to preserve New Jersey’s natural, cultur- al, recreational and agricultural lands. Together, with state agencies and local governments, a total of 1.4 mil- lion acres (29%) of New Jersey’s lands are preserved. These lands protect drinking water supplies, provide local healthy foods, encourage a healthy citizenry, and ensure a diversity of habitats for current and future generations. We are awed by the work of our state’s nonprofit conservation partners, and are happy to say that New Jer- sey Conservation Foundation has partnered with over three-fourths of the organizations featured in the “Saving Land” directory. We will continue to embrace our conser- vation assistance role—Land Trust Network, annual land conservation conference, and Franklin Parker Conserva- tion Excellence grants—to maintain the strength of our conservation community. We have about one million acres yet to preserve. Let’s get to work—together! Michele S. Byers Executive Director New Jersey Conservation Foundation 4 Building bridges with NJ’s land trust community 5 About The Directory The directory will promote communication and partnerships among groups within the conservation com- munity. People who want to join others to take care of natural areas as well as landowners who want to preserve their land will find the booklet a handy resource. “Saving Land” was first published in 2010 and is up- dated annually. In 2010 a total of 91 nonprofit organiza- tions were listed. The 2017 edition of “Saving Land” lists 95 nonprofit organizations dedicated to preserving and stewarding land in New Jersey. The groups are as varied as New Jersey’s environ- ment. Some operate with all volunteers; others are pro- fessionally staffed. Some groups work in one municipality, region or watershed; others work statewide. Some groups only acquire land; others only steward or manage land; some serve as advocates; still others do it all. Some groups assist public agencies in managing parklands; oth- ers protect special habitats. Each organization in the directory is described briefly, including a mission statement, geographic focus area, and land owned or managed. To learn more, con- tact information is provided for every group. The directory is accessible online through New Jer- sey Conservation Foundation’s website (www.njconservation.org). The volunteers who compiled the booklet used wording directly from the website of each organization. However, directory information chang- es rapidly. We welcome corrections, additions and com- ments. Please send any changes to [email protected].
