Resilient Northeastern New Jersey

Developing an action plan to mitigate flood risk for those who live, work + play in Jersey City, Newark, Hoboken, and Bayonne.

Jersey City planted pollinator gardens in the new curb extensions at York and Jersey, in conjunction with utility upgrades. The work was done by the MUA and Department of Infrastructure and the gardens are thriving thanks to support from the Van Vorst Park Association! 🦋🪻🐝

🌿 At the edge of Essex County Branch Brook Park’s tranquil lake, a great blue heron stands, calmly preening in the soft light. Here, every day is the perfect day to disconnect and unwind. 🌅

Come, let the park be your sanctuary. ✨
