As a partner JCP&L worked on multipe Environmental & Community Restoration projects, the following projects have been conducted in 2019: 1- Lopatcong Creek Restoration, Lopatcong, Warren County, NJ. Lopatcong Creek Initiative (LCI) is a program of the New Jersey Highlands Coalition to restore water quality in the Lopatcong Creek watershed in southwestern Warren County. LCI is part of the Highlands Cluster, a network of organizations working in the portion of the New Jersey Highlands that drain to the Delaware River, and part of the four-state Delaware River basin-wide Delaware River Watershed Initiative, an unprecedented collaboration of over 50 nonprofits working to restore water quality with funding provided by the William Penn Foundation. http://www.lopatcongcreek.org/ 2. Slade Dale Sanctuary Marsh Restoration, Point Pleasant, NJ The project will get underway in September 2018 and is the first in New Jersey to use recycled Christmas trees to restore marshland. Trees for the project came through a municipal donation/collection effort. Other funding sources and partners for the restoration project include the National Oceanographic Aeronautic Administration; US Fish and Wildlife Service; Point Pleasant Rotary Club; Borough of Point Pleasant; Nature Conservancy; New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection; Atlantic Lifts, Dock, and Bulkheads; and Pinelands Nursery. Slade Dale Sanctuary is a 12.93 acre preserve located along Beaverdam Creek in Point Pleasant, NJ. Historic aerial imagery shows the shoreline to have eroded an average of approximately 300 feet since 1930, and the current vegetation composition of the site shows evidence of marsh retreat. To halt this erosion and regain marsh habitat, a branchbox breakwater and several Christmas tree vanes will be constructed, and native marsh vegetation will be planted. 3. Bradley Beach Maritime Forest Restoration, Bradley Beach, NJ Bradley Beach Municipal officials and project partners came together near the north end of the Bradley Beach boardwalk for the official unveiling of the town’s restored maritime forest. The maritime forest is a model for other coastal communities and provides sustainable protection for New Jersey’s coastal lakes, many of which are in jeopardy. The plants help protect against storms, reduce sand and debris going into Fletcher Lake, provide habitat, and beautify the area
