Today (6/3) Governor Phil Murphy announced that New Jersey has joined the High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People, a group of member states, territories, and countries committed to conserving 30% of their land by 2030. As a leader in land and water conservation, New Jersey has already protected more than 1.6 million acres of open space — more than 30% of the state’s total land.

“Our investments in New Jersey’s natural land improve the quality of life for neighborhoods and families and the long-term health of our state,” said Governor Murphy. “New Jersey has been committed to ensuring every community has access to quality parks, recreation facilities, and opportunities through the Green Acres Program. By joining the High Ambition Coalition, we further this commitment to a global vision of a more sustainable future.”
