The Land Conservancy of New Jersey

Founded in 1981, The Land Conservancy of New Jersey is a non-profit member-supported organization dedicated to preserving and protecting New Jersey’s vital natural lands and drinking water resources. It is working to inspire and empower individuals and communities to take action to save the land that is important to New Jersey.

It has worked in 100 municipalities in 13 counties, benefiting millions of people who live in, work in, or visit New Jersey.
