The New Jersey Conservation Foundation preserves land and natural resources for the benefit of all.



Through acquisition and stewardship, NJCF protects strategic lands; promotes strong land use policies; and forges partnerships to achieve conservation goals. Since 1960, NJCF has protected tens of thousands of acres of open space - from the Highlands to the Pine Barrens to the Delaware Bayshore, from farms to forests to urban and suburban parks.



What we do

New Jersey Conservation Foundation’s work centers on the following:



· Acquiring Land

· Managing Land or Stewardship

· Working with Other Groups (including legislators) to Protect Land



Since its inception in 1960, New Jersey Conservation Foundation has preserved and protected tens of thousands of acres across New Jersey - either by buying land outright, receiving land from donors, or working with other groups to find creative ways to save our precious open spaces and habitats. Through land acquisition, stewardship, and partnerships with other organizations, NJCF has become the most powerful, private land conservation organization in the state of New Jersey.



Be it farmland, woodland, small or large tracts, NJCF has led the charge in protecting open spaces in your cities, towns, and places you like to visit.
