Office of Natural Lands ManagementThe Natural Heritage Priority Sites Coverage was created to identify critically important areas to conserve New Jersey's biological diversity, with particular emphasis on rare plant species and ecological communities. Natural Heritage Priority Sites are based on analysis of information in the New Jersey Natural Heritage Database. However, these sites do not cover all the known habitat for endangered and threatened species in New Jersey. If information is needed on whether or not endangered or threatened species have been documented from a particular piece of land, a Natural Heritage Database search can be requested by contacting the Office of Natural Lands Management. The Natural Heritage Priority Sites coverage is a valuable tool which can be used by individuals and agencies concerned with the protection and management of land. However, the coverage was not developed for regulatory purposes, and should not be used as a substitute for the on-site surveys and Natural Heritage Database searches required by regulatory agencies.ArcGIS DynamicMapLayerhttps://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/0aaefb4a68ba4fac824b31d4c59578fe_93engNew Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's (NJDEP) Bureau of GISPublicNatural Heritage Priority Sites in New Jersey [New Jersey]Web servicesNew JerseyLast Modified: 2023-07-13
