We have preserved over 18,000 acres of open space land in over 300 projects through our Land Preservation program.
Through our Partners for Greener Communities program, we have completed 80 Open Space, Farmland Preservation, and Trails Plans and helped towns secure more than $216 million in county, state, and federal grants for their land conservation projects.
More than 7800 volunteers from 87 different corporations have participated in our Partners for Parks program impacting over 20,000 acres of parkland in 10 counties.
Our oldest running program is our Scholarship program. Since 1984, we have awarded $163,500 in scholarships to 42 outstanding New Jersey students helping build the next generation of future environmental leaders.
