NJ Landscape Project Training and Information Sessions

New Jersey is the most densely populated state in the nation. One of the consequences
of this distinction is the extreme pressure that is placed on our natural resources.
As the population grows, we continue to lose or impact the remaining natural areas
of the state. As more and more habitat is lost, people are beginning to appreciate
the benefits -- and necessity -- of maintaining land in its natural state.
The New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife’s Endangered and Nongame Species
Program (ENSP) adopted a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) approach to imperiled species protection called
the Landscape Project. The
project uses GIS to identify, delineate and ultimately protect habitat critical
to the long-term survival of New Jersey’s wildlife. Participants will learn about
the Landscape Project and utilize GIS hands-on to access critical habitat maps
for threatened and endangered species.
