State’s parks and natural areas
need repair
On July 8, the state Legislature passed a resolution
to provide a stable source of funding for
New Jersey’s state and local parks and wildlife
protected areas. Environment New Jersey,
and 35 outdoor recreational, environmental
and community groups including the New
Jersey Audubon Society, Sierra Club and
others, worked with legislative champions
Assemblyman McKeon, Assembly Speaker
Roberts, Senators Kenny, Littell, Lance, and
Codey, as well as New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection Commissioner Lisa
Jackson, to craft the legislation and ensure
its passage. |

| Every year, millions visit New Jersey’s 42 state
parks, 11 state forests and hundreds of county
and local parks to relax and have fun in nature. |
