New Jersey Highlands Coalition

The New Jersey Highlands Coalition is a non-profit organization based in Boonton, New Jersey. With a team of 5 employees, the Coalition plays a crucial role in advocating for the preservation and enhancement of the unique natural resources within the New Jersey Highlands region. The Coalition's primary mission is to protect, enhance, and promote the water, natural, and cultural resources of the Highlands. This expansive area, covering 860,000 acres across seven northwest New Jersey counties, is vital to the state's water supply, as its headwaters, aquifers, and reservoirs provide clean drinking water to over 70% of New Jersey residents. Through its diverse network of over 120 member organizations, the Coalition engages in various initiatives aimed at achieving its goals. These efforts encompass advocacy, education, research, and collaboration with stakeholders to ensure the sustainable management and protection of the Highlands for present and future generations.
