The Sourland Conservancy

Located in the heart of the most densely populated state in the nation, the 90-square-mile region sequesters carbon and provides fresh air and critical habitat for people and animals – including 57 state-listed, threatened and endangered species. Streams that begin their journey on the Mountain flow into rivers that provide clean drinking water for millions of people in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Migratory birds, fish and other animals rely on the Sourland forest to provide crucial food, shelter and breeding areas.

Over one million Sourland Mountain trees will die within the next few years due to an invasive insect, the emerald ash borer. The Sourland Conservancy is working with public and private landowners to mitigate the EAB’s impact and restore the forest. This complex restoration effort began in 2020 and will continue for many years. The Conservancy and its partners will identify and prioritize sites and work with the landowners to develop the most effective plan for each site.

The Sourland Conservancy plays a critical role in protecting the Sourland Region. The Sourland Conservancy’s mission is to protect, promote and preserve the unique character of the Sourland Region. We value inclusion, knowledge, respect, and diversity.
