The New Jersey Highlands Coalition’s mission is to protect the aquifers, surface waters, forests, sensitive habitats, wildlife, open spaces, farmland, scenic vistas, cultural and historic resources, and diverse recreational areas found throughout the region. The 860,000-acre New Jersey Highlands, encompassing 88 towns across seven counties, provides 6.2 million people – roughly 70% of New Jersey’s population – with abundant, clean water.

Of Special Note:

• Small Grants Program funds grassroots groups active in the Highlands
• Hosts an annual car rally, golf outings, craft beer gatherings and pub crawls
