DescLand Preservation: In 2015, we helped preserve more than 2,700 acres of significant lands across the state, completing 44 land transactions. From the Highlands to the Delaware Bay watershed, we preserved productive farms and beautiful natural areas that provide outdoor recreation, protect wildlife habitat and safeguard public drinking water supplies. Stewardship: We manage more than 27,000 acres of land and conservation easements, including 16 preserves that are open to the public and represent New Jerseys diverse natural heritage. Working with partners, we developed a plan to eliminate illegal off-road vehicle traffic at the Candace McKee Ashmun Preserve to protect sensitive streams and wetlands. A comprehensive management plan for the Mount Rose Preserve is well underway. The Forest Stewardship Plan for the Franklin Parker Preserve is in the final stages of review with the Pinelands Commission and we will begin implementing this ambitious plan in 2016. Advocacy: We were successful in the battle to prevent LG Electronics from building a high rise office tower visible above the iconic Palisades. Our staff participated in settlement negotiations that led to a building height compromise that will protect this natural and historic landmark. We are now working to secure state legislation that will forever protect the Palisades from similar damaging projects. We worked to prevent the siting of pipelines and other energy infrastructure on preserved lands, particularly the PennEast pipeline. Stopping PennEast, and securing a sustainable energy future for New Jersey, has become a major organizational priority. With our partners, we launched "ReThink Energy NJ," a communications campaign to promote the states transition to clean and renewable energy sources. Education: The 2015 Land Conservation Conference was held in Trenton and explored the connections between health and land preservation. About 300 conservationists enjoyed workshops, plenary sessions and related activities including a farmers market. In an effort to further the relationship between outdoor recreation and community health, we became an active participant with the North Jersey Health Collaborative to help develop a health assessment plan for 5 counties--Morris, Sussex, Passaic, Essex and Union. In addition, we hosted 22 meetings of the Land Trust Network, many of these in partnership with other organizations, including the Watershed Institute. We continued the Franklin Parker Conservation Excellence Grant Program, which complements our educational programs and funds land acquisition (including soft costs), innovative stewardship projects, training, collaboration and organizational capacity. In 2015, we awarded $49,966 to New Jersey conservation organizations for 16 projects. Through the Land Trust Network and in partnership with the Land Trust Alliance, we are helping New Jersey land trusts achieve national accreditation. In total, seven New Jersey land trusts, including New Jersey Conservation, are accredited and six more are working toward that goal. We also continued to serve as a statewide Land Trust Service Center, bringing information and resources from Land Trust Alliance and other partners across the country to help New Jerseys conservation community thrive. More than 700 participants enjoyed our signature Step Into Nature events: a series of 19 guided outdoor activities on preserved lands.Desc

Form 990, Part III, Line 1Our goal has remained the same for over fifty years: Land preservation, advocacy for its appropriate use and empowering others to do the same. The New Jersey Conservation Foundation preserves land through a comprehensive program of statewide land acquisition and management, promoting strong land use policies, sponsoring and supporting local groups and partners, and education. New Jersey Conservation Foundation forges strategic partnerships with Federal, State and Local Government agencies as well as other non-profits to achieve conservation goals. This multi-faceted approach is one of our strengths and sets us apart from other land conserving groups in New Jersey. We will continue this approach as we move into the next fifty years.
