Land conservancy launches interactive map

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, The Land Conservancy of New Jersey launched its newly created interactive map on its Web site: www.tlc-nj.org. The map identifies each of the properties the conservancy helped to permanently protect, from Stokes State Forest in northern Sussex County to the Musconetcong Valley in southern Warren County. The conservancy has preserved over 16,500 acres of land and helped towns receive $192 million in grants to purchase and protect land throughout New Jersey.
