Garden State Greenways (GSG) is a vision for an interconnected,
statewide system of open space. GSG county maps depict the
results of the New Jersey Green Infrastructure Assessment (NJGIA)
conducted by the New Jersey Conservation Foundation in
cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection Green Acres Program and the Grant F. Walton Center
for Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis at Rutgers University.
The NJGIA identified large tracts of undeveloped land that could
function as 'hubs' of an interconnected open space system in New
Jersey. Linear 'connectors' were also identified by the NJGIA
in order to represent potential linkages among identified hubs.
Garden State Greenways refers to the 'green infrastructure'
identified by the NJGIA and represents a vision of interconnected
open space that can help to lessen the environmental and social
impacts of sprawl and maintain quality of life in New Jersey.

Green infrastructure plays a vital role in maintaining public health
and quality of life in New Jersey by providing close-to-home
recreation opportunities, safeguarding surface and underground
water supplies and productive soils, protecting native plant and
animal populations, and upholding scenic, cultural and historic
amenities contributing to community character and livability
throughout the state.
This map was created by The New Jersey Conservation Foundation.

While great care is taken to present the Howell
most up to
date information, NJCF does
not assume responsibility for spatial accuracy or timeliness of underlying data.
NJCF expressly disclaims any and all responsibility for errors, omissions or other
inconsistencies depicted, arising from or otherwise related to this map product.
Garden State Greenways sets forth eight broad goals towards
achieving the vision of a 'green infrastructure':
1. Establish parks, trails, or other protected lands within walking
distance of every New Jersey resident.
2. Permanently protect New Jersey's critical natural resource
lands: those contributing to groundwater or aquifer recharge,
surface water quality, rare and endangered species habitat,
visit the GSG website at
and prime soils.
www.gardenstategreenways.org
3. Permanently protect large, contiguous tracts of natural land
for the long-term survival of native plant and animal species.
4. Permanently protect large, contiguous tracts of farmland for
the long-term viability of agriculture and the maintenance of scenic and cultural landscapes.
5. Permanently protect parks, natural lands, and farmland surrounding historic sites, in order to maintain
their historic character, visual context and interpretive value.
6. Link together New Jersey's protected natural, agricultural, historic, and recreation lands via trails and
greenway connectors.
7. Grant public access and trail rights-of-way, where appropriate, across green infrastructure lands to allow
the public to benefit from the scenic, recreational and interpretive opportunities provided therein.
8. Coordinate state, local, and private preservation as well as land use planning efforts, around common
maps and shared GIS data, towards achieving goals one through seven.
