NJ Meadowlands Commission
"Our goal is to preserve natural and open areas of the Meadowlands, to restore degraded wetlands, and to improve the water quality of the Hackensack River Estuary. The Commission has acquired over 1700 acres of wetlands for preservation and pursues the acquisition of additional sites as they become available. "

NJ Natural Heritage Program
"The New Jersey Natural Heritage Program identifies the state's most significant natural areas through a comprehensive inventory of rare plant and animal species and representative ecological communities. From the inventory, the Natural Heritage Database compiles information on the distribution, biology, status, and preservation needs of these species and communities. Established in 1984 through a cooperative agreement between The Nature Conservancy, a private conservation organization, and the Department of Environmental Protection, full administration of the program was assumed by the DEP in 1986."

Rutgers Gardens
"Rutgers Gardens is a learning center for plants, providing information on how these plants can best be used in the created landscape, as well as how and where they grow in the natural landscape. The vision of the Rutgers Gardens is to educate students of all ages about the identification and culture of plant materials, as well as the proper role these plants have in the natural and built environment."
