Executive Summary
Ocean County has a rich diversity of natural resources that provide ample recreational opportunities for county residents and visitors alike. All levels of governments have a responsibility to meet the public need for recreational facilities, parks, and open space. Private enterprises, such as campgrounds, boat rentals, boardwalks and amusement centers, also play an important role in fulfilling the demand for recreation.
The Ocean County Parks and Recreation Department was established in 1940 with a donation from the heirs of John D. Rockefeller of their summer resort in Lakewood, New Jersey. Since the inception of the Parks Department, the County has been committed to providing Parks facilities that fulfill public recreational needs. In October 1968, the Board of Chosen Freeholders established the Ocean County Cultural and Heritage Commission, a division of Parks and Recreation, which encourages creative and cultural expressions, promotes public interest in the arts, and seeks to preserve the culture and heritage of Ocean County. The Ocean County Parks and Recreation Department is charged with oversight of the County Parks system including regional parks, off-leash dog parks, conservation areas, and golf courses.
On November 4, 1997 Ocean County voters authorized an open space tax of 1.2 cents per every $100 of equalized assessed value for conservation and farmland preservation purposes. For over 20 years, the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust has provided residents and visitors with natural open spaces intended for the enjoyment of nature, protection of our natural resources, and preservation of our important farming industry. The Ocean County Planning Department is charged with oversight of the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund Program, which consists of natural lands preserves, farmland preservation easements, and administration of the open space tax.
On November 5, 2019 Ocean County voters authorized an expansion of the open space tax to include recreation and historic preservation purposes. These changes to the Natural Lands Trust Fund Program are reflected in this document. While administered separately, the two systems of County Parks and Natural Lands Trust work closely together to provide dedicated land for public benefit. This plan reflects the commitment of the County Board of Chosen Freeholders to provide the important resources necessary to fulfill the public’s need for open space and parks. This plan was drafted in a multi-department effort by County staff, with an opportunity for public participation as identified in Appendix D.

An Open Space Tax
In 1997, P.L. 1997, c.24, (N.J.S.A. 40:12-15.1 et seq.) was signed into law. It expanded the purposes for which dedicated taxes can be used and set forth procedures for establishing a dedicated tax for one or more of the following purposes:
1. Acquisition of lands for recreation and conservation purposes; 2. Development of lands acquired for recreation and conservation purposes; 3. Maintenance of lands acquired for recreation and conservation purposes; 4. Acquisition of farmland for farmland preservation purposes; 5. Historic preservation of historic properties, structures, facilities, sites, areas, or objects, and the acquisition of such properties, facilities, sites, areas, or objects for historic preservation purposes; and, 6. Payment of debt service on indebtedness issued or incurred by a county or municipality for any of the purposes set forth above.
In November 1997, an open space tax referendum in Ocean County established the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund (OCNLTF) which could be used for acquisition, development, and maintenance of conservation lands, for farmland preservation purposes, and for debt service.
In November 2019, Ocean County voters authorized the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund to be expanded to uses consistent with the enabling legislation, P.L. 1997 c.24 (NJSA 40:12-15.1., et. Seq.). This 2019 referendum authorized the fund to also be used for acquisition, development, and maintenance of recreation lands and for historic preservation purposes.
The Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund
The Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund has four main program areas: . Conservation . Farmland Preservation . Recreation . Historic Preservation
The top priorities for the fund will continue to be conservation and farmland preservation.
Conservation
The OCNLTF was initially set up with the main focus on preservation of land in its natural state. This is apparent in the title of the fund. Natural Lands Trust conservation lands are natural or near natural properties
Page 7 of 55
that have been preserved due to their regional environmental importance. These lands serve many functions including serving as buffers from incompatible developments, aquifer recharge areas, preservation of key natural resources, provision for green corridors, and the general enjoyment of nature by the public.
For purposes of the OCNLTF, conservation land is inclusive of passive parks and park areas dedicated to preservation of natural resources, nature viewing and enjoyment by the public within the County Parks System.
Farmland Preservation
The acquisition of development easements on viable farms are an important tool for preserving farmland and its associated open space. The sale of development easements provide farmers important capital for farm- related improvements and repayment of debts. In some cases, owners of important targeted farms are only willing to sell farms in fee rather than selling a development easement. In these cases the County may acquire farms directly and sever development rights post-closing to be auctioned as preserved farmland. Farmland is further detailed in the Ocean County Comprehensive Farmland Management Plan.
Recreation
OCNLTF may be used for County acquisition and development of County properties for recreation purposes. Recreation may include active and passive recreation areas but is not limited to sports. Recreation involves a wide array of opportunities for public enjoyment of hobbies, sports, physical exercise, and education. Parks and recreation agencies provide crucial health and wellness opportunities for all populations in their communities and OCPR is dedicated to serving these needs.
Operation and maintenance expenditures for County Parks are administered through the regular County budget as requested by the County Parks Department annually. These expenditures are not eligible to come out the OCNLTF. Operation means the provision of park or recreation services, equipment, materials, supplies, or staff personnel.
Historic Preservation
“Historic Preservation” means the performance of any work relating to the stabilization, repair, rehabilitation, renovation, restoration, improvement, protection, or preservation of a historic property, structure, facility, site, or area. The OCNLTF may be used for County projects for historic preservation purposes consistent with the provisions of this document. The OCNLTF will not be utilized as a grant program nor as mechanism for completing deferred maintenance on buildings. Any project acquired or utilizing OCNLTF dollars for historic
Page 8 of 55
preservation purposes either will be or is owned by the County. Preferably the property should be listed on both the NJ State Register and the National Register of Historic Places but must be on at least one of the two.
Operation and maintenance expenditures for County Historic Preservation is provided for through the regular County budget as requested by the County Parks Department annually and is not eligible for the OCNLTF. Operation means the provision of park or recreation services, equipment, materials, supplies, or staff personnel.
Definitions (N.J.S.A. 40:12-15.1)
Acquisition: The securing of a fee simple or a lesser interest in land, including but not limited to an easement restricting development by gift, purchase, installment purchase agreement, devise, or condemnation, and includes the demolition of structures on, the removal of debris from, and the restoration of those lands to a natural state or to a state useful for recreation and conservation purposes.
Development: Any improvement to land acquired for recreation and conservation purposes designed to expand and enhance its utilization for those purposes.
ACQUISITION All acquisitions of property in fee simple, easement or other interests for conservation, farmland preservation, parks and recreation, and historic preservation will be reviewed by the 9-member Natural Lands Trust Fund Advisory Committee. Properties will be brought to the Advisory Committee for review to ensure consistency with program goals and objectives.
The Advisory Committee will utilize an established formal procedure for the acceptance and review of nominations. The Advisory Committee will review the characteristics of all parcels to determine the benefits that could be realized through acquisition, whether it be of environmental, agricultural, historical, or recreational importance.
OCNLTF may be used to purchase the development rights on farmland. Generally, Ocean County provides matching funds from the OCNLTF to the State Agriculture Development Committee’s cost share for the purchase of a development easement, which preserves the property as farmland in perpetuity. Farmland preservation is discussed in greater detail in the Ocean County Comprehensive Farmland Management Plan. These acquisitions are vetted first by the Ocean County Agriculture Development Committee which makes recommendations to the Advisory Committee and to the Board of Chosen Freeholders.
Final approval by the Advisory Committee will be a recommendation of acquisition to the Board of Chosen Freeholders. Page 9 of 55
While the OCNLTF is not intended for acquisition of property already in public ownership, there may be circumstances where these properties are appropriately suited for open space or parks acquisition. Any acquisition from a public agency needs to support the goals and objectives of the program. The property would need to be held in fee simple ownership and its acquisition would have been funded by the public agency without imposing any deed restrictions, such as in a foreclosure or condemnation. A prime example would be municipal owned property that is otherwise developable within an existing target area or creates a key connection to existing County open space or parks. These nominations would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Advisory Committee.
The County may also consider recommendations from the Advisory Committee for the acquisition of publicly owned lands by gift, deed, or dedication into the program. Donations of real property may also be considered for the purposes of partnership matching funds, project leveraging for outside funds, and other beneficial purposes.
As part of its policy, partnerships are a key component of transactions that include overlapping interests. In some cases, partnerships with a local agency are an integral part of an acquisition that would otherwise not be a regional priority.
Nomination Process:
• A formal nomination is required in order to consider a property for acquisition. Nominations may come from any source, including but not limited to individuals, municipalities, or non-profit organizations and conservation groups. • Nominations can be proposed at any time in accordance with the Advisory Committee's procedures. The Advisory Committee will also utilize the procedures established by the Ocean County Agriculture Development Board for nominations to be considered for participation in the Farmland Preservation Program.
Property Evaluation:
• The staff will review and prioritize all nominations and make recommendations to the NLTF Advisory Committee. Staff will informally review parcels with potential sellers to provide feedback on the parcel's eligibility under the program. • There is no minimum acreage for parcels. Rather, the relative importance of a smaller parcel is reviewed on a case by case basis. For example, for conservation lands, a relatively small tract may be a missing link within a larger sensitive area already preserved.
Page 10 of 55
• It is the intent to purchase properties from willing sellers. While property is generally not acquired through condemnation there are limited circumstances where it is appropriate. Such as the case may be for properties with clouded title, important inholdings, outliers, or key connections within a project area. • Nominations may receive greater consideration if they are accompanied by a cost-sharing or in-kind service commitment from an outside source. It is the intent of the program to maximize the value of trust funds by matching public or private funds, utilizing below market sales or other innovative funding mechanisms. • If a nomination is for Parks and Recreation uses, it would first be reviewed and approved with the OCPR Director prior to Advisory Committee review to ensure compliance with OCPR goals and objectives. Nominations may also come directly from the OCPR Director. • If a nomination is for historic preservation purposes, it would first require that historic place be listed on preferably both the NJ State and National Register of Historic Places but at least one of the two; and • Those eligible nominations for historic preservation would be reviewed and approved with the OCPR Director and the Ocean County Culture and Heritage Commission to ensure compliance with OCPR goals and objectives. The OCPR Director will direct recommendations to the Advisory Committee for their review. Additionally, approval is required from the NJ State Historic Preservation Office for places listed on, or eligible for, the NJ Register and/or the National Parks Service if federal funding has been or is utilized; and • Historic preservation properties must be a candidate for adaptive reuse that would support the existing OCPR objectives.
Appraisals and Valuation (Preliminary Approval):
• The amount offered to landowners for lands purchased in fee simple will not exceed the market value, as determined by appraisal reports accepted by the County, and will be consistent with applicable statutes and regulations. The County will also consider appraisal reports prepared on behalf of the seller or another agency, provided that a licensed and certified real estate appraiser prepares them. • It is the policy of the County of Ocean to require two separate appraisal reports for properties with an estimated value of over $250,000. For properties with an estimated value below $250,000, the Advisory Committee will provide a recommendation as to whether one or two professional appraisal reports will be prepared. In certain cases, properties that are within an ongoing project area, existing appraisal reports for adjacent or similar properties could be utilized upon review by staff and the Advisory Committee.
Page 11 of 55
Recommendation to Acquire (Final Approval):
• Prior to action by the Board of Chosen Freeholders, staff will request municipal support for the acquisition of the property. The municipal body should adopt a resolution of support or provide proof of discussion at a public meeting and provide its support in writing. Municipal endorsement of any acquisition is required to ensure consistency with the local master plan. • All nominations recommended by the Advisory Committee will be forwarded to the Board of Chosen Freeholders. The Board of Chosen Freeholders will approve any acquisition of property, farmland, or conservation easements at a public hearing.
DEVELOPMENT Development projects and funding for them pertain specifically and only to County owned facilities. Development projects are budgeted for and are scheduled in a 6-year County Capital Improvement Program. This process will continue for all development projects under the jurisdiction of the Natural Lands Trust Fund. A budget review for development projects will be completed by an internal subcommittee no later than the 4th quarter of every year for budgeting purposes and to confirm the eligibility of projects for funding under the OCNLTF.
Development projects coming out of the Natural Lands Trust Fund will be budgeted and approved through an ordinance with public hearing prior to allocation for expenditures. These improvements must have a minimum useful life of 10 years.
Guidelines
• The County allows limited development on its Natural Lands Trust properties. Limited development projects may include trail development with pervious surfaces, benches, garbage cans, and enhanced viewing areas for public access and enjoyment of nature. Any of these limited development items can be done administratively with the exception of any trail development that would be completed through an open bidding process. • Parks and Recreation properties include a myriad of recreation opportunities including active recreation fields, nature center/exhibits, and hiking trails. Development of these properties is an allowable expense under the Natural Lands Trust Fund. • Development of County Park properties may include new facilities to include nature centers, active recreation fields, trail improvements, public access, and ADA compliance projects. Development may also include upgrades to existing facilities.
Page 12 of 55
• Restoration of County owned historic preservation properties are considered a development project subject to review of the internal subcommittee. These restoration projects would require approval from the OCPR Director, Ocean County Culture and Heritage Commission, the NJ State Historic Preservation Office for places listed on the NJ Register, and/or the National Parks Service if federal funding is utilized.
MAINTENANCE Any maintenance needs for conservation properties or those farmland preservation properties held in fee simple ownership can be funded through the Natural Lands Trust Fund as long as they promote the goals and policies of the program.
Operation and maintenance, including provision of park or recreation services, equipment, materials, supplies, or staff personnel for Parks and Recreation or Historic Preservation properties are funded through the annual department budget of the Parks and Recreation Department.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
The fund may also be used for:
. County matching funds for acquisitions by other entities. . County debt service. . County administrative, support, and transactional costs.

Chapter 2. Goals and Policies
Page 14 of 55
Ocean County provides open space and recreational opportunities through two main functions, the Ocean County Parks System and the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust. These two systems work in concert with each other to provide a broad spectrum of services to Ocean County residents and visitors. The Department of Parks and Recreation administers facilities throughout the county, focusing on parks as destination places for recreation and education. The Ocean County Natural Lands Trust is administered through the County Planning Department. The Ocean County Natural Lands Trust was established in 1998 after Ocean County residents passed an open space tax referendum. The adopted open space plan acts as the policy document for this program and the open space tax.
Preserve Provide Protect Promote Open Space Services Sensitive Cultural Areas Diversity
Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation
The County Park System is a regional resource for County residents and features a variety of active and passive recreational parklands, as well as historic sites and conservation areas. The Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation (OCPR) was established in 1940 when the heirs of John D. Rockefeller donated their summer resort in Lakewood, New Jersey to the County of Ocean. This property, now known as “Ocean County Park,” laid the foundation for recreation, resource protection, ecological conservation, and historical preservation in Ocean County. Over the past 79 years OCPR has not only expanded the acreage and number of park locations, but also the quantity and diversity of recreational programming in order to serve the needs of the residents of Ocean County. The focus of the department is two-fold: (1) to promote a healthy and active community and (2) to promote the historical and environmental significance of the county through programming and educational facilities within its parks. OCPR encourages the use of its facilities by all individuals and ability levels. The Department is committed to providing barrier-free access to all facilities including playgrounds, picnic areas, education centers, and trails.
Page 15 of 55
OCPR continues to evaluate the need for additional recreational opportunities, park expansion, ecological conservation, and historical preservation throughout the County. The following goals help to guide the future trajectory of the department in order to serve visitors and residents of all ages and abilities on an equal and accessible basis.
1. Provide recreational facilities and programs that promote exercise, health and wellness. 2. Provide educational facilities and programs that highlight the ecological, historical, and cultural significance of Ocean County. 3. Identify and protect sensitive, ecological, historical, or cultural areas of Ocean County through direct involvement under the Parks Department or in concert with the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust. 4. Promote the cultural diversity of Ocean County through presentations, workshops, and by administering grant funding to community organizations through the Ocean County Cultural and Heritage Commission. 5. Carry out continued maintenance and improvement projects on existing Park properties and facilities, and continue acquisition and expansion of new Park properties. 6. Provide staff assistance and technical expertise to the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust as needed to include coordinated cleanups, fire management practices, habitat enhancement, and maintenance of acquired properties.
Ocean County Natural Lands Trust
In response to the rapid development of Ocean County and the growing need for preservation of natural areas, the residents of Ocean County approved a ballot question on November 4, 1997, which authorized the creation of a trust fund in accordance with P.L. 1997, c.24. Following approval, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders established the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust (OCNLT).
Protecting natural areas that buffer development and providing opportunities for passive recreation help maintain a high quality of life for the County’s residents. The benefits provided by vacant parcels in their natural state have increasingly become threatened as development replaces natural areas and encroaches on sensitive habitats. The initial motivation behind the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund proposal was the publication of “The Century Plan" in 1995 by the Trust for Public Land (TPL). The report documented significant remaining natural parcels in the Barnegat Bay Watershed of Ocean County, describing important flora and fauna species present in each of them.
Page 16 of 55
Direction and visioning for the program has come from targeting those sites originally identified within “The Century Plan” and working with other agencies to preserve environmentally sensitive areas. The Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund Advisory Committee (“Advisory Committee”) was established by the Board of Chosen Freeholders for the purpose of reviewing and ranking nominations to the program, and ultimately, making recommendations to the Board of Chosen Freeholders for acquisition. The OCNLT was established with the main objective of protecting the quality of life in the County which is guided through the following general goals: 1. Help maintain the rural character of the County. 2. Protect critical environmental resources of the County. 3. Maintain and enhance active agriculture in the County. 4. Buffer areas that are not compatible for development in the County.
Through the preservation of natural resources the quality of life for residents and visitors of Ocean County can be sustained. The program objectives of the OCNLT are targeted at protecting and enhancing regional resources of Ocean County in order to promote the general well-being of the public. Of particular importance to the residents of Ocean County is protecting water resources, which is reflected in the adopted target areas highlighted in chapter 4 of this document.
In order to reach these goals and program objectives, the OCNLT has implemented several strategies. Properties are only acquired from willing sellers and with support from the municipal governing body. In limited cases, condemnation might be considered for important properties with extenuating circumstances, such as clouded title. At times, the program provides assistance to municipalities and other open space programs to protect lands that are locally important.

Inventory
Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation
OCPR provides a regional recreation resource for Ocean County residents and visitors. The OCPR inventory features 27 passive and active recreation sites covering 4,220 acres. The inventory includes four environmental education centers, three historic sites with two preserved historic buildings, four conservation areas, three off- leash dog parks and two golf courses. In addition, the OCPR manages the Barnegat Branch Trail which currently includes almost 11 miles of completed trail. The development and maintenance of the Barnegat Branch Trail is a multi-agency effort which includes the County Culture and Heritage Commission, Engineering, Parks, Planning, and Security Departments. Ownership of the trail is divided by Township with the spans in Barnegat, Berkeley and Ocean under the OCNLT. Sections in Lacey and Beachwood are owned by the municipalities. Each of the facilities that OCPR owns and operates provide unique and diverse opportunities for recreation which range from sports fields to fishing piers and hiking trails to historic taverns. OCPR continues to evaluate the recreation and preservation needs of the community. Figure 1 illustrates the locations of OCPR facilities and Figure 2 details each facility and the recreation opportunities they provide. A listing of all Parks facilities and maps are also available in Appendix A of the plan.

Ocean County Natural Lands Trust As of March 2020, the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust has acquired 235 individual acquisitions totaling 25,642 acres. The inventory provides a unique identifier for each acquisition, block, lot, township, and acreage.
The Advisory Committee prioritizes properties that are adjacent, or in close proximity, to other preserved properties, parks or preserves. OCNLT properties are grouped into 33 management units or preserves that are located throughout the entire county. An inventory of the preserves can be found in Appendix B.
The Forked River Mountains Wilderness Area is the largest preserve in Ocean County, covering 15,639 acres in Lacey and Ocean Townships. The area includes the Forked River Mountains and portions of the Pinelands. The Toms River Corridor Conservation Area is the second largest preserve at 5,774 acres. It encompasses parcels in Jackson, Manchester and Toms River Townships. The area has ponds, streams and forested hiking trails that connect State-owned open space and Patriots County Park in Jackson Township. At 2,191 acres, Davenport Branch Preserve is the third largest preserve in Ocean County. This preserve is located in Lacey, Berkeley, and Manchester Townships. It shares borders with NJ State lands under Greenwood Forest Wildlife Management Area, Double Trouble State Park and Brendan T. Byrne State Forest. In this area numerous sand road trails, cranberry bogs and wildlife viewing are available. Located in Barnegat, Ocean, and Lacey Townships the Wells Mills Wilderness Area is the fourth largest preserve with 1,647 acres. An extensive forested trail system can be found here. This trail network connects to Wells Mills County Park and State Forests, making it a great place for hiking and nature observation.

The following section consists of non-County jurisdiction parks and open space. These facilities and properties are for informational purposes and are only referenced generally in this plan
Nonprofit Open Space A number of open space facilities throughout Ocean County are owned and maintained by nonprofit organizations. These conservation lands work to support the preservation of our natural resources and enhance the system of publicly owned open space. Approximately 6,254 acres are in nonprofit ownership, many of which are open to the public. While not a comprehensive list, these nonprofits include: The Nature Conservancy, NJ Conservation Foundation, NJ Audubon, Forked River Mountain Coalition, and several others.
Municipal Parks and Open Space For this plan, the County requested a list of municipal open space and parks from each of its 33 municipalities. Inclusion of properties in this inventory does not guarantee properties are on the NJDEP Green Acres Recreation Open Space Inventory (ROSI) and inclusion in this document is for reference only. The municipal inventories are available in Appendix C.
Federal Owned Lands U.S. National Wildlife Refuge The Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge contains more than 47,000 acres of southern New Jersey coastal habitats, which are actively protected and managed for migratory birds. Forsythe is one of more than 560 refuges in the National Wildlife Refuge System administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The National Wildlife Refuge System is a network of lands and waterways managed specifically for the protection of wildlife and wildlife habitat. The system represents one of the most comprehensive wildlife resource management programs in the world. Units of the system stretch across the United States from northern Alaska to the Florida Keys and include small islands in the Caribbean and South Pacific. As noted in Table 1, the Barnegat Division of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge encompasses large tracts of coastal land, approximately 24,550 acres, in Ocean County. It preserves important fisheries and wildlife habitat and provides for passive recreation.
U.S Department of Defense The military maintains an extensive amount of public lands in west central Ocean County. Most of this land will remain undeveloped and is an important component of the County’s open space. There are approximately
Page 24 of 55
23,118 acres owned by the Department of Defense. A large percentage of these lands are used as buffer areas from incompatible land uses. The federal government, including the military, provides matching funds for land acquisition. Partnerships between Ocean County and the federal government have been mutually beneficial and an extensive amount of open space has been preserved in the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge and adjacent to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.
State Owned Lands The majority of publicly owned lands in Ocean County are under state jurisdiction. These lands have been acquired through several state initiatives, such as NJ Fish & Wildlife, NJ Parks and Forestry and the NJ Natural Lands Trust Fund. These divisions are within the NJ Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP).
The NJDEP Green Acres Program coordinates the acquisition and development of open space resources in New Jersey. In addition to acting as the acquisition arm of divisions of the NJDEP, the Green Acres Program provides matching grants to local governments and non-profit agencies for facility development and land acquisition. In 2014, New Jersey voters approved long-term preservation funding by dedicating a portion of the corporate business tax specifically to open space, farmland, and historic preservation. Many municipalities in Ocean County have taken advantage of grants and loans from the Green Acres Program to promote open space preservation and parks development. Ocean County frequently partners with the program. Many important preserves have been acquired with 50 percent matching grants provided by the Green Acres Program. New Jersey Natural Lands Trust The NJ Natural Lands Trust was created as an independent agency in, but not of, the Division of Parks and Forestry. The Trust is dedicated to preserving habitat in its natural state and ensuring its protection. In Ocean County, this agency has protected approximately 4,700 acres. The most significant of these preserves is the Crossley Preserve in Berkeley Township. At 3,080 acres, this preserve is the Trust’s largest preserve in New Jersey. This tract includes many components of the Trust’s goals, including the protection of threatened and endangered species, historic and cultural sites, environmental education and outdoor recreation.
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection - Fish & Wildlife The mission of the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife is to protect and manage the State's fish and wildlife resources for their long-term biological, recreational and economic value. Hunting, fishing and nature- oriented recreation are encouraged. In Ocean County, approximately 71,709 acres are under the stewardship of the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife.
Page 25 of 55
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection - Parks & Forestry The NJ Division of Parks and Forestry is responsible for the management of state parks, forests and recreation areas. The Division of Parks and Forestry is responsible for approximately 33,250 acres in Ocean County. Arguably the most popular facility is Island Beach State Park, a narrow barrier island stretching for 10 miles between the Atlantic Ocean and the Barnegat Bay. Island Beach is one of New Jersey's last significant remnants of a barrier island ecosystem that once existed along much of the coast. It is now one of the few remaining undeveloped barrier beaches on the north Atlantic coast.

Chapter 4. Current and Future Needs Analysis
Page 28 of 55
Ocean County is dedicated to providing regional access to recreational and open space lands. The County is perfectly situated to complete gaps between State and Federal priorities and locally important targets. Population and geographic distribution across the County is a key component of this assessment. From 2008 to 2018, the population of Ocean County has grown approximately 5.6% and according to the U.S. Census Bureau the population is projected to increase in the near future. The 2018 estimated population for Ocean County was 604,651. In the summer months this number swells due to seasonal tourism. The highest population growth rates in Ocean County are in Lakewood, Toms River, Brick, Jackson, Manchester and Berkeley Townships. The ongoing population increase will create continued pressures on natural resources and highlight the need for parks and open space.
As of July 1, 2018, Lakewood has an estimated population of 104,157 residents but has about 1,300 acres of preserved open space. This includes county Natural Lands, County Parks, State and municipal open space. Between 2010 and 2017, Lakewood was the fastest growing municipality in the state. Based upon recently adopted projections by the North Jersey Transportation Authority, Lakewood Township population is expected to grow to 127,433 people by 2045. Toms River has an estimated population of 93,717 residents and about 3,400 acres of open space. Brick has an estimated population of 75,667 and about 2,800 acres of open space. In areas that have a high population, more preserved open space can be beneficial for water quality, sense of place, accessibility to passive recreation and relief from the built environment.
According to the National Recreation and Park Route 547 Tract, Toms River Township Association, the typical park agency provides 9.6 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. Ocean County’s 2018 estimated population from the US Census Bureau is 601,651. Based on the 4,220 acres in OCPR there is approximately 6.75 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. When the 25,641 acres of OCNLT land is included the figure surpasses 49 acres per 1,000 residents. These estimates do not take into account the significant number of Federal, State, local and non-profit parks and open space.
Page 29 of 55
OCPR and OCNLT properties are generally well distributed across the geographic area of the County and its municipalities, with the exception of the barrier island towns. This is due to the limited amount of land available on the barrier islands and the cost of acquiring these small but high development value properties. However, Ocean County public beaches provide a significant recreational resource for visitors and residents.
Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation
OCPR continues to look for opportunities to add additional locations and expand existing programming. The most recent data shows that the greatest population growth is within the 18 to 65 year old demographic. Additional staffing in the areas of administration, park maintenance, recreation staff, and education staff will be necessary to keep up with the increasing needs of the population. As the population of the county increases, development pressures will decrease our remaining unpreserved open spaces. OCPR continues to look for opportunities to purchase new open space for use as active and passive recreation parks in underserved areas of the county. OCPR makes recommendations to the OCNLT to purchase adjacent properties for passive recreational use and at times will partner on these acquisitions. OCPR collects and maintains records of yearly participation totals for all park locations and activities where data is available. This includes special events, sports field reservations, golf course rounds, picnics, cultural and heritage events, dog park visitation, beach visitation, program attendance and Cattus Island County Park, Toms River park visits at staffed locations.
Table 2 summarizes the most recent participation totals available for 2017 and 2018. Beginning in 2016, OCPR sought to increase the digital media footprint in the interest of expanding the number of programs and visitors. This has led to a noticeable increase in the number of park visitors and program participants. OCPR is in the process of migrating to an online registration system, as well as mobile-enabled mapping and content. Increased mobile marketing and communication is the key to providing a high level of service to county residents and visitors.

The majority of OCPR facilities are located to the east of the Garden State Parkway. As a result, many OCPR facilities are in close proximity to residential areas. This facilitates easy access to many of the park locations. Fewer OCPR facilities are located to the west of the Parkway within the Pinelands Forest and Preservation Areas. As such, the parameters set forth in the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan limit development of recreation facilities in these areas. This serves as a challenge to providing park facilities that service residents in the western portion of the county.
With normal use, park infrastructure and facilities are required to be continually repaired and upgraded. County-wide park facilities are examined annually, with a priority on repairs and upgrades of older facilities. Budgetary requests for Current Capital and Capital Improvement Budgets are based on this yearly assessment. Superstorm Sandy made landfall in Ocean County on October 29, 2012 and cause significant damages to OCPR facilities. OCPR has focused on repairing and replacing damages suffered during Superstorm Sandy. All outstanding Superstorm Sandy projects have been completed. This will allow OCPR to project for the evolving needs of the community.
As technology continues to expand our possibilities and permeate our culture, it is important that we incorporate technology into our every-day tasks. Maintenance needs seldom change, but the way in which we track and manage maintenance and upkeep of our facilities will. OCPR is developing a pilot program that will create park-specific maintenance plan. This plan will include day-to-day upkeep as well as long-term assessment
Page 31 of 55
and upgrades. Based on the feedback from this pilot program, the department will roll-out a department-wide maintenance plan. A key facet of the program is populating a database with all pertinent information, and using that database to empower management-level decisions for staffing, budgets, and capital improvements. Key improvements from the use of this technology include task automation and streamlined workflow between staff and supervisors.
Technology also plays an important role in how individuals learn. OCPR will continue to incorporate interactive technology elements in new educational exhibits. The goal is not to replace traditional methods of education, but rather enhance them and broaden the ability of all types of visitors to benefit from these opportunities. OCPR has begun to develop a mobile application that complements its current website. It is also developing an interactive trail mapping application to assist visitors to our many parks. Completion of these two applications will help disseminate information about the department to visitors while providing real-time useful data. The department is utilizing social media as a tool to disseminate information about events and programs. But this is not just a vital tool for marketing. It also provides a platform to education people about plants, animals, recreational opportunities, and emergencies. Finally, the Department needs to finalize plans to integrate online registration. This task has been underway for a number of years, and will help streamline the registration process as well as open up opportunities of a new demographic of participants. As new opportunities, social media outlets, and applications are developed, OCPR must adopt new technology in order to fulfill its goals.
Ocean County Natural Lands Trust
OCNLT ensures the protection of natural spaces for the public. While all of the preserves under the Program are open to the public, few are meant to be destination places. This is consistent with the overall intent of the Program to preserve and protect natural resources. Where appropriate, limited improvements are made to improve access and the comfort of the public to enjoy the natural state of the property. The Natural Lands properties provide access to primitive trails, water bodies, and, in some cases, hunting and fishing.
The protection of the County’s water resources and recharge areas is a main concern among Ocean County and its many partners. Site-specific target areas have been identified through the use of GIS technology and available databases.
Page 32 of 55
Using the TPL’s “The Century Plan,” Ocean County has targeted critical conservation sites in the Barnegat Bay Watershed and the rest of Ocean County. With the help of major stakeholders in the area, including Ocean County, TPL published an update, the “Barnegat Bay 2020 Report” in 2008. This report targeted specific sites and set goals for preservation within the Barnegat Bay Watershed. The County continues to evaluate open space with its partners Former NJ Pulverizing Tract, Berkeley Township and develop acquisition strategies to evolve with the constant pressures from development.
In December 2010, the Office of the Governor released a Ten Point Plan of action to protect and restore Barnegat Bay. The fifth item of the plan prioritizes the acquisition of land within the Barnegat Bay Watershed. Ocean County has been working with the NJDEP Green Acres Program to prioritize additional lands for preservation. Many of these acquisitions involve a financial partnership with the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust. As a follow up to the Ten Point Plan, in October 2017, the NJDEP released the Barnegat Bay Restoration, Enhancement and Protection Strategy which helps guide future projects. The report acknowledges that “acquiring available, ecologically sensitive lands along the Barnegat Bay and its tributaries is a cost-effective and critical measure to prevent development activities that could further degrade the bay’s water and ecological quality.” The OCNLT was identified in this report as a significant partner with the NJDEP on important acquisitions in the Barnegat Bay watershed.
Designation of the Pinelands National Reserve, expressed in Section 502 of the National Parks and Recreation Act of 1978, has provided funds necessary for public acquisition of significant acreage in the Pinelands Area of Ocean County, especially in the Cedar Creek basin. More recently, the Pinelands Commission created a Pinelands Conservation Fund in order to boost the preservation of additional areas within the Pinelands Reserve. As a result, Ocean County has been able to further its goals of protection and partner with the Pinelands Commission on several important acquisitions.
Page 33 of 55
Open Space and Recreation Specific Needs Public access is a basic need for recreation and is a priority for beaches and water-related activities. The NJDEP, through its Coastal Zone Management rules, require provisions for public access. Many municipalities have adopted their own public access plans. Existing facilities under OCPR and Wells Mills County Park, Ocean Township OCNLT provide access to the public for recreational uses and enjoyment of the water. Additional opportunities exist that would provide appropriate access and balancing interest for preservation. OCPR and OCNLT provide numerous hiking and nature viewing opportunities across the County. A diverse range of habitat type and access for enjoyment are available. The OCPR has dedicated trail systems throughout its facilities, while OCNLT consists of primitive trails and old sand roads for the more adventurous. All OCNLT lands are open to walkers, and others are available for non-motorized transportation such as biking and horseback riding.
OCNLT evaluates its property for hunting on an annual basis. This review includes newly purchased properties as well as existing properties in which neighboring property uses have changed. The review also considers property-specific complaints or issues identified during the year. Evaluation criteria include property acreage, proximity to neighboring development, safety zones, local regulations, site accessibility, and non-compatible uses including trails or paddling corridors. Approximately 22,715 acres or almost 88% of all OCNLT are open to some form of hunting including bow and arrow, shotgun and muzzleloader. Hunting is allowed consistent with state and local regulations. The County maintains a prohibition on hunting on Sundays. Deer driving is only allowed during the 6-day firearm season and is limited to properties identified as safe and compatible to this use. Property visitors should refer to the most currently adopted version of the Ocean County Parks and Natural Lands Trust Rules for more information.
There are currently no restrictions on fishing on OCNLT properties except where access is limited. Fishermen must follow all state and local laws. Some OCPR and OCNLT properties included bodies of water that are either directly stocked or in very close proximity to NJ DEP Division Fish and Wildlife trout stocked waters.
Page 34 of 55
These provide a significant recreational resource. Table 3 was compiled using information available from the NJDEP to assist in locating public access to trout-stocked waters.

Ocean County lies within one of the most volatile fire regimes in the country due to the intimate relationship between the Pinelands and its fire adapted ecosystem. This presents a significant risk when OCPR and OCNLT lands buffer human development. This risk is mitigated with the cooperation of the New Jersey Forest Fire Pancoast Road Fuel Break, Barnegat Township Service through the planning and execution of a countywide Fuel Hazard Reduction program.

Chapter 5. Priority and Resource Assessments
Page 36 of 55
Ocean County continues to be an attractive place for people to live year-round or visit seasonally due to its plethora of unique natural resources; 45-miles of Atlantic Ocean coastline, significant portions of the Pinelands National Reserve, and most of the Barnegat Bay and its 660 square mile watershed. A balance of natural resources and recreational opportunities are important to the future of the county. Significant studies have been completed or are under way to evaluate and protect the Barnegat Bay and the Pinelands areas of the county.
Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation OCPR staff periodically review the needs set forth in chapter 3 and as they are brought forth by public request. Staff assesses opportunities for expanding recreation and education opportunities at its existing facilities and creates new and innovative facilities to engage the public. Acquisition and expansion is prioritized based on areas with expanding populations as well as areas of the County that have a greater geographic distance from existing recreation and education opportunities.
OCPR staff is afforded flexibility with its programming. The content of education and recreation programming is based on the skills of the current staff, and seeks to address the needs and requests of citizens. Currently, many programs are geared toward young children or retirees. While this demographic is strong, there is a need to diversify program offerings to attract a larger demographic. Many of the programs offered are performed by OCPR staff. In order to supplement the skills and availability of OCPR staff, some programs are performed by outside vendors. The frequency and volume of programming fluctuates as funding and staffing permits.
A planned facility in Manchester Township will allow for the OCPR to reach a more rural section of the County population and afford them new opportunities. Additionally, the
Beaver Dam Creek County Park, Point Pleasant Borough aforementioned restoration of facilities damaged during Superstorm Sandy will enable the OCPR to improve and expand upon previous offerings. Cattus Island County Park was completed in 2017,
Page 37 of 55
and the John C. Bartlett Jr. County Park at Berkeley Island was completed in 2018. OCPR is currently in the planning, engineering or construction phase for the improvement of a number of park locations detailed in Table 4.
Ocean County seeks to preserve the character and history of the area by purchasing and restoring properties that have been deemed culturally and/or historically significant. In the past, these properties have included cultural sites linked to the Lenni-Lenape, historic homes of prominent Ocean County citizens, and key historical structures. Ocean County has recognized that many significant sites and structures have been lost to neglect and development. By preserving historic properties, we hope to protect the unique history and culture of the Ocean County area. Given the nature of these sensitive properties and facilities, constant management and upkeep must be exercised to ensure that each site remains in its intended condition.
Each year county officials meet with NJ Forest Fire Service to identify properties that are at a high risk for wildfire, and formulate a plan to reduce that risk through the creation of fuel breaks, thinning projects, and a prescribed burning plan. In the 2018-2019 prescribed burning season over 4,134 acres of county-owned land was identified and addressed, with 1,168 acres treated with prescribed fire across 23 separate parcels. In addition, 16,044 acres of county owned land is proposed for prescribed fire in the 2019-2020 burning season. Ocean County also maintains the Pancoast Road Fuel Break in Barnegat Township. This 400-foot wide fuel break mitigates the risk of wildfire in the neighboring developments of Heritage Point, Four Seasons at Mirage, Pheasant Run, Carriage Estates, Pine Ridge, and Barnegat Estates This program reduces the risk to surrounding homeowners and serves to balance the delicate ecology of the Pine Barrens of New Jersey.
Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Generally, the following areas are targeted as regional priorities for acquisition:
1. Stream corridors and other flood prone areas. Public ownership will help protect sensitive natural areas, enhance water quality and minimize the effects of non-point source pollution from runoff, protect bays, estuaries, waterways, and groundwater resources. Acquisition could provide important linkages between federal, state, county, and municipal recreational areas. 2. Aquifer recharge areas. These areas function to recharge groundwater supplies that continue to be the primary source of potable water in the county. Especially important are the outcrops of confined aquifer systems such as the Kirkwood and recharge areas of aquifers designated by the NJDEP as Critical Area Aquifers.
Page 38 of 55
3. Buffer areas surrounding potable well fields. Preserving these buffers serve to protect groundwater sources from contamination should be undertaken in support of efforts by municipal and private water purveyors. 4. Environmentally sensitive areas. These areas should be preserved in their natural state. These include wetlands, lowland forest types, and the headwaters of rivers and streams. Lands bordering the county's bay and estuarine systems are of special concern as well as lands with significant local populations of threatened and endangered flora and fauna. 5. Active farms and lands with prime agricultural soils. 6. Lands adjacent to environmentally sensitive areas. 7. Lands in close proximity to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst This includes uplands contiguous to Barnegat Bay and the adjacent bays and estuaries. Preservation minimizes impacts from existing or future development.
The OCNLT has leveraged millions of dollars in outside funds to acquire high priority properties. The focus on joint target areas provides for a variety of funding sources including federal, NJ Green Acres, Pinelands Conservation Resource funds, municipal open space funds, non-profit foundation funds and military funds from the Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI). These partnerships have often been critical to successful acquisitions. This section provides an assessment of those public and private lands and water resources that have potential for providing the County with additional open space and recreational opportunities. In the 1995 “Century Plan”, The Trust for Public Land identified 75,930 acres of importance within the Barnegat Bay Watershed that include many properties within the Pinelands, coastal shoreline, and bay islands. As noted earlier this plan was the motivation for the OCNLT program. In 2007 the Trust for Public Land published the “Barnegat Bay 2020 Plan.” This plan identified more than 16,000 acres as priorities for acquisition. Many of these properties are adjacent to either existing OCNLT, Parks, or State-owned land, and feature opportunities for recreation, restoration, water access, and habitat protection priorities that represent the diversity of the watershed.
The following is a list of specific regional priority areas that will continue to drive acquisitions under the OCNLT and recreation development under the OCPR.
Page 39 of 55
Category One Waterways The NJDEP has adopted anti-degradation policies that require all existing and designated use must be maintained and protected for all surface waters of the State. These policies are set for the protection from changes in water quality for these features to protect their aesthetic value and ecological integrity (N.J.A.C. 7:9B). They have established a three tiered system of identification for waterbodies: Outstanding National Resource Waters (ONRW), afforded the highest level of protection, consist of: Freshwater 1 (FW) waters: Non-degradation waters set aside for posterity because of their unique ecological significance, exceptional water supply, significance, or exceptional fisheries resources. Not to be subject to any manmade wastewater discharges or any other activities that might alter existing water quality. Pinelands (PL) waters: Waters to be maintained in their natural state and changes allowed only toward natural water quality. Category One (C1 Waters): Protection from any measurable change in water quality because of their exception ecological significance, exception recreational significance, exceptional water supply significant, or exceptional fisheries resources. Category Two (C1) Waters: All other surface waters. Existing water quality is maintained with the exception of some lowering authorized to accommodate necessary and important social and economic development.
Barnegat Bay As evidenced by the numerous studies and reports focused on the Barnegat Bay watershed, the Barnegat Bay estuary is a critical environmental, cultural, and economic resource to Ocean County. Public access and preservation of this resource is paramount. Any adjacent and upstream development to the bay can impact water quality including its salinity, pH, turbidity, and nutrient load.
Water samplings by the U.S. Geological Survey show that nitrogen concentrations are greatest in the Toms River and Metedeconk River basins, the two most heavily developed portions of the watershed. The most visible effect of development is non-point source pollution that can lead to eutrophication, which creates an unsuitable habitat for fish and wildlife. The trend in land use underlines an increasing need for public open space acquisition to act as an environmental buffer.
Page 40 of 55
Metedeconk River The Metedeconk River Watershed is comprised of well-drained soils, wetlands, and its baseflow discharge accounts for approximately 70% of the flow in the Metedeconk River. Protected floodplains and wetlands in proximity to rivers and streams are vitally important for holding stormwater and prevent downstream flooding. According to the Barnegat Bay 2020, “acquisition of several upstream sites in the 70-square-mile Metedeconk River watershed could ensure the protection of drinking water that is processed and distributed by the Municipal Utilities Authority (MUA).” The Metedeconk River is the MUA’s primary water supply source for drinking water with over 100,000 customers in Brick, Point Pleasant, Point Pleasant Beach, and Howell. Water quality decline in the last decade is associated with development upstream of the watershed, leading to greater water treatment challenges and higher costs.
Toms River The Toms River watershed is the largest and provides approximately a quarter of the overall freshwater input to the estuary. In 2004, the Pinelands Commission issued a report developed by a task force on the Toms River Corridor Study Area. This report highlighted the importance of the Toms River and its tributaries within this study area, including more than a dozen plant and animal species that are classified as threatened or endangered. As a result of the report, Jackson and Manchester Riverfront Landing County Park – Toms River Townships adopted master plan amendments and zoning changes. In Jackson Township, those branches of the Toms River within the study area have a 300-foot wetlands buffer and an additional 300-foot habitat buffer limiting development within these areas. To date, the Commission has committed approximately $3 million in Pinelands Conservation Fund monies to assist Ocean County in permanently preserving properties in Toms River Corridor Study Area, as well as the Forked River Mountains.
Reedy Creek Reedy Creek is in a unique area in a very developed portion of Ocean County. An original “Century Plan” priority, the “Barnegat Bay 2020” highlights the continued need for acquisition in this area. Preservation would help complete protection of the coastal and upland spaces in the Reedy Creek tidal stream system within the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge acquisition boundary. The Reedy Creek Area is adjacent to both
Page 41 of 55
State public land and OCNLT property and remains a high priority for conservation as it is home to a myriad of bird species, wetlands wildlife, and a well-established and undisturbed forest habitat.

Abandoned Rail Corridors Due to the rise of auto transportation in Ocean County, many rail lines have been abandoned or repurposed. The abandoned corridors that remain vacant provide an opportunity for development of rail to trail and greenway development. Rails-to-trails are an off road option that can provide a safe and accessible means of active transportation.
With the focus on Complete Streets Policy in transportation projects across the state, there is an opportunity for interagency cooperation for the construction and connection of facilities, on and off road.
Barnegat Branch Trail – Under Development The Barnegat Branch Trail (BBT) is a rail-to-trail which, when complete, will be a 16-mile linear bike and pedestrian trail from Barnegat Township to downtown Toms River. Once finished, the regional BBT will facilitate alternative modes of transportation and can provide linkages to community facilities for users of all ages and abilities. As of 2019, the majority of the right-of-ways identified in the Conceptual Plan have been acquired by public entities in fee or by easements. Moving forward, inholdings and adjacent parcels will be targeted for acquisition.
The “Barnegat Branch Trail Conceptual Plan” prepared in 2007 identified existing right-of-ways for its expansion including the River to Bay Greenway, Long Beach Island Connector Trail, Barnegat Boulevard Trail, Golden Triangle Trail (Southeast leg and Northeast Connector), the Pine Beach/ Good Luck Point Trail, and Toms River Trail to Winding River Park. If repurposed over 90 miles of existing right-of-ways could potentially establish a cohesive link offering recreation, safe public access, and transportation between local residential areas, schools, public/community buildings, parks, recreation, public spaces, and employment.
Union Transportation Trail - Under Development The Union Transportation Trail is an active project in Plumsted Township that will create a hiking and biking trail from Downtown New Egypt to the existing Monmouth County portion of the trail. This trail also has the opportunity to expand into Burlington County along the old rail corridor.

Forked River Mountains Area This area contains some of the highest elevation points in the Pinelands National Reserve, peaking at approximately 187 feet. Views from the summit of the hills span tens of thousands of acres of pitch pine with sights of the Lakehurst naval station hangars in the distance. The hills shelter the headwaters of the Forked River and its marsh creeks, forming high-quality habitat. According to the Trust for Public Land’s “Barnegat Bay 2020” report, the mountains provide excellent habitat for the threatened northern pine snake and threatened and endangered plant and wildlife species. The County and its many partners have preserved significant tracts of land within this area. Continued open space purchases of private lands would enhance the expansive preserve and create a large continuous green space.
Coastal Marsh and Vulnerable Waterfronts Estuarine habitats include salt marshes, sand and mud flats, sea grass beds, bays and rivers. In addition, freshwater habitats include coastal lakes, rivers, marshlands and coastal forests. The coastal area is host to many rare, threatened and endangered species of flora and fauna.
Protection of these natural resources not only safeguard habitats and ecosystems, but provides hazard mitigation and storm resiliency as well. Marshes act as sponges, filtering the estuary, and buffering incompatible development, sea level rise, and flooding. There is an ability to work with local towns through Hazard Mitigation Planning to establish open space buffers for future protection of vulnerable areas.
Acquiring and restoring natural floodplain will remove future risk and reduce liability. Restoration activities on the acquired sites will enable better flood storage and nature functions of the floodplain. Acquisition of vulnerable waterfronts could provide public access and passive recreation opportunities.

Chapter 6. Action Plan and Recommendations
Page 47 of 55
Ocean County Parks In the preceding chapters OCPR goals and policies, existing needs analysis, and priorities were reviewed. The following recommendations are made: 1) Continue to acquire priority and target parcels that support existing OCPR facilities or for new facilities as necessary to provide beneficial services to residents and visitors; 2) Continue to provide a diverse range of recreation and education opportunities to the public to enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors; 3) Continue to evaluate practices and new opportunities for fulfilling public needs; 4) Incorporate new technologies for refining operation and maintenance as well as enhancing program offerings; 5) Increase cooperation among county departments and outside agencies in the stewardship and maintenance of properties; 6) Prepare a long term maintenance plan for OCPR properties to ensure successful operations into the future
OCPR will continue to advance several initiatives for the repair and upgrade of existing facilities underway as of the writing of this report. Facilities damaged by Superstorm Sandy have been repaired and recreation and education program offerings will be increased. The improvements at these locations will make them more resilient and visitor friendly for the future.
The Historic Cedar Bridge Tavern site has been restored and improved to accommodate safe public access. OCPR is finalizing plans to finish the caretaker’s cottage and restrooms at the site. In addition, OCNLT is finalizing a land swap with the NJDEP which will provide acreage to the Bass River State Forest in exchange for property surrounding the 5-acre Cedar Bridge Tavern Site. This exchange will greatly enhance the historic site by providing opportunities for seamless interpretive trails, improved public access and archaeological surveys.
The creation of a park in Manchester Township is underway. This addition will fulfill a need for a regional park in the western part of the county. The township owns a viable site that has been purchased through NJDEP Green Acres funding for this project. The area is suitable for trail development, park programs and a nature center.
The nature center at Wells Mills County Parks is currently in the planning stages for a structural repair and facility upgrade project. Plans for the center include updated interior finishes, interior and exterior lighting, new
Page 48 of 55
siding and roofing, HVAC replacement, a new lecture room, and improved ADA access with an upgraded elevator system.
A. Paul King County Park recently received a new picnic pavilion and restrooms in the first of a two-phase project. Planning for the second phase is underway and includes upgraded parking and lighting, new playground, and a spray park.
Ocean County Park has received one new restroom facility in the vicinity of the newly created putting green. OCPR will continue to upgrade the park including picnic grills, pavilions, and restrooms in order to update the infrastructure and capacity of the park.
Ownership of the historic Mary Etta Cox House was recently transferred to OCPR. Historic preservation and emergency repair needs are currently being addressed. This includes the preparation of a historic preservation plan and roof repair. Based on the results of the preservation plan, OCPR will move forward with all necessary repairs and restorations to the house and outbuildings.
The Ocean County Nursery has recently received a new office building and restroom facility. This has allowed OCPR to have full time staff oversee the operations of the site and increase public visitation through educational programming. OCPR will be building 3 greenhouses on the site to increase production and education opportunities.
The former bait and tackle shop at Lake Shenandoah County Park has undergone planning for upgrade to the restrooms, new roofing, structural repairs, and conversion of the retail area to a staffed visitor’s center. Work around this building included upgraded lighting and new concrete walkways and stairs to improve ADA access and allow for safe pedestrian traffic to the nearby fishing dock.
OCPR currently operates two off-leash dog parks in the northern and central parts of the county. A third off- leash dog park is under construction at Freedom Fields County Park. This new amenity will serve the residents in the southern part of the county.
Plan have begun to improve amenities at Beaver Dam County Park. This well-used park will include a new restroom facility, picnic pavilion, playground, and various site programming.
In addition to these facilities, the OCPR will continue to work with County Planning and Engineering staff on the development of the Barnegat Branch Trail and its facilities. This includes the Middle Branch Trailhead in Page 49 of 55
Lacey Township containing restrooms and a maintenance storage unit. The final 6 miles of trail is planned to be completed by 2022. Table 4 on the following page highlights improvements and new construction projects that are planned and underway to OCPR facilities. The table is keyed to a map located in Appendix A-3.
Ocean County applied for and received a NJDEP Water Quality Restoration grant for $3,000,000 to restore critical shoreline areas of Cattus Island County Park in Toms River. The park preserves a significant portion of the natural ecosystem of the northern part of Barnegat Bay, encompassing 530 acres out of over 1,000 acres of preserved public property in the immediate vicinity. Additional public property includes the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Program’s 65-acre Tilton Point preserve adjacent to the park as well as the New Jersey Natural Lands Trust’s 251-acre Tilton Creek preserve. Cattus Island County Park is the most significant salt marsh and the largest breakwater in the northern portion of Barnegat Bay.
Review of aerial photography spanning 85 years, from 1930 to 2015, shows that Cattus Island County Park’s shorelines have lost more than 300 feet. Without intervention, this erosion will likely increase over time. The park serves as a wetland buffer and upland forest breakwater that protects four surrounding neighborhoods from tidal flooding and erosion.
The County will be planning, designing and implementing a phased shoreline restoration project, including hybrid shorelines, to stabilize the eroding shoreline and wetlands while providing resilience to public infrastructure and a substantial number of surrounding homes and businesses. In addition, this project will protect and enhance the recreational and commercial clam, oyster, and mummichog fisheries while preserving the upland forest habitats of several federally and state listed species.

Page 53 of 55 Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Program In the preceding chapters OCNLT goals and policies, existing needs analysis, and priorities were reviewed. The following recommendations are made: 1) Continue to acquire priority and target parcels that support the goals and policies of the program; 2) Continue to leverage funds through partnerships with the NJDEP Green Acres program, US DoD Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) program, and others; 3) Encourage and participate where appropriate in open space acquisitions by others; 4) Continue to balance the need for public access and passive recreation opportunities with the preservation of our critical natural resources; 5) Enhance cooperation among county departments and outside agencies in the stewardship and maintenance of properties; 6) Prepare a long term maintenance plans for stewardship of key properties to ensure program viability
Opportunities for expanding existing open space areas and creating green corridors are being evaluated on a regular basis. All of the priority areas mentioned in Chapter 4 are continually evaluated, and outreach is performed periodically. OCNLT continues to identify and seek partnerships with NJDEP Green Acres, DoD REPI, Pinelands Commission, Barnegat Bay, Trust for Public Land and other agencies.
Since the OCNLT is a dedicated open space tax on real property, installments are received on a quarterly basis. This committed stream of funding allows the County to accept nominations from willing sellers on a rolling basis. Completed nominations are evaluated at monthly meetings by the Advisory Committee and nominations are informally ranked by their site characteristics and by location.
The OCNLT has had significant years in terms of acreage as well as in terms of number of acquisitions. OCNLT averages 875 acres of land acquisition per year. In 2019, OCNLT hit the milestone of most acreage acquired in a year at 8,109 acres and the most individual closings in a year at 23. As larger tracts become less available for acquisition, the County’s NLTF program will naturally shift to focus on long term maintenance strategies. Staff evaluate needs on a regular basis and work to safeguard these protected lands while promoting public access.
A Conservation Management Plan is under development for the 812-acre site formally known as the New Jersey Pulverizing pit. This site has a multitude of opportunities for habitat restoration and enhancement, passive recreation, and environmental education. Moving forward, this type of site-specific management
Page 54 of 55 planning will be focused on these larger, high resource tracts that provide significant environmental and passive recreation benefits to the region.
There are two large Forestry Stewardship projects underway. The first being the Wells Mills County Park and Wilderness Forestry Management Plan, which will focus on sustainable forestry practices for promotion of healthy tree stands around the Park and Natural Lands Trust properties. The second plan, the Roosevelt City Fuel Break, will focus on wildfire mitigation for Natural Lands Trust property around the Roosevelt City section of Manchester Township. The plan outlines forest treatments that include thinning and prescribed burning. The entire project encompasses over 4,300 acres with approximately 1,500 acres owned under OCNLT. The goal of the project is to minimize the risk of wildfire impacting over 1,700 homes and 4,000 residents in the communities of Fox Hollow, Roosevelt City, Wynnewood, and Timbergreen. The 154-acre fuel break will consist of a 200’ wide strip of mechanically thinned forest around the perimeter of the community to reduce the fuel load and increase forest health. To further enhance the effectiveness of the fuel break, over 1,500 acres will be included in Ocean County’s prescribed burning plan.
Ocean County continues to expand its Fuel Hazard Reduction program through training and opportunities with the NJ Forest Fire Service. Prescribed burning is a critical part of the aforementioned forest stewardship projects, as well as the management of OCNLT lands. Ocean County will continue to identify properties that are at a high risk for wildfire, and reduce that risk through the creation of fuel breaks, thinning projects, and yearly prescribed burning plans.
