The New Jersey Natural Lands Trust was created in 1968 by the
Legislature as an independent agency with the mission to preserve land
in its natural state for enjoyment by the public and to protect natural
diversity through the acquisition of open space.
The Trust acquires open space primarily by donations of land and
easements. The Trust manages its properties to conserve endangered
species habitat, rare natural features, and significant ecosystems. The
Trust invites passive use by the public for recreational or educational
purposes wherever such use will not adversely affect natural communities
and biological diversity.

investment in our economy, our farming heritage and the overall quality
of life for each and every New Jerseyan.
