Did you know that New Jersey has 862 rare plants the DEP is tracking? Of those, 355 are threatened to go extinct. For about 35 years, NJ has been tracking them with the Endangered Plant Species List. This important list helps protect these species from going extinct.
The good news is that after more than 10 years, the DEP has updated the Endangered Plant Species List. However, the Governor needs to sign off on the list. Until he signs off, it cannot proceed to public comment and final adoption.
Please call Governor Murphy today to SIGN OFF on the new list so it can proceed onto Public Comment and Adoption. Thank you for all you do for New Jersey’s biodiversity.
