Upcoming Highlands Events:
This spring we have a variety of events and conferences coming up for you to learn and engage with environmental issues in the Highlands, get out and explore the sights and tastes of the Hackettstown area, or show off your skills at our annual golf outing.
The first Northwest New Jersey Rivers Conference
invites anyone and everyone who cares about clean water, the Delaware River and the Delaware Watershed region to come to Centenary University March 30th. Partners in the DRWI initiative will be hosting workshops for participants to learn how we can best work to protect its resources: conserve, restore, protect, educate, inform and bring communities together to defend and share this important resource.
This conference is free and open to the public!

The New Jersey Highlands Coalition
We represent a diverse network of organizations - small and large, local, regional, statewide and national - and individuals with the common goal to protect, enhance and restore the New Jersey Highlands and to preserve the quality and quantity of drinking water both for the 850,000 people in the Highlands as well as the more than 6.2 million people in surrounding areas who depend on Highlands water.
Contributions from supporters such as you are New Jersey Highlands Coalition’s largest source of funding and ensure that the Coalition has the resources to continue to be your voice speaking up for the NJ Highlands in the future.
