Why aren some preserved areas shown on the Garden State Greenways maps?
It is surprisingly difficult to create a current, comprehensive map of preserved land in New Jersey. In part this is because many different agencies, local governments and private groups preserve land. There is also no unified definition of preserved land or central repository for what is preserved. The preserved land data used here is meant to provide a context for the Greenways data by showing how preserved lands and Greenways hubs and connectors fit into a statewide system of preserved land.
