The Nature Conservancy in NJ

Congratulations to Governor @MikieSherrill on her inauguration today, and to @edpotosnak on being selected to lead the @NewJerseyDEP. We look forward to working with the new administration and with Ed to protect New Jersey’s communities and natural resources.

TNC is grateful for the opportunity to speak with @CoryBooker to talk about the importance of investing in #nature, from expanding Newark’s tree canopy, to advancing dam removals. These efforts show how smart conservation can strengthen communities and improve quality across NJ.

Thank you, @Congressman_JVD, for meeting with us to discuss the importance of investing in #conservation through a strong #FarmBill, robust #LWCF funding, and the use of nature-based solutions that protect our coasts, farms and communities.

We had a wonderful meeting with @RepNellie. We discussed our shared priorities around #conservation and the importance of #LWCF funding. Together we can ensure New Jersey treasures, like the Paterson Great Falls, stay protected and open. Thank you Representative Pou!

We had a great first meeting of the day with @RepSherrill where we discussed how important it is to invest in conservation so we can create a future where nature and people thrive together. Thank you Representative Sherrill! #VoiceForNature @nature_org @nature_wonks

Rivers connect us. Sustain us. Guide us. Yet only 1/3 of the world's longest rivers still flow freely. Freshwater species have declined by 85% since 1970. Half of the world's population lives in water-stressed areas. If we want nature to thrive, we need to protect the rivers that keep it alive. 💧 When rivers flow, nature grows. It's time to rediscover why healthy rivers matter: nature.ly/4241I9s

Nature is everything. 💚
