In the nation's most densely populated state, The Trust for Public Land has protected nearly 25,000 acres and helped to pass several million dollars in new state spending on conservation. TPL has worked for more than a decade to safeguard water quality, recreation opportunities, and wildlife habitat with focus in the Barnegat Bay watershed along the Atlantic coast. In Newark, TPL is building urban parks and playgrounds to create community play space: Nat Turner Park, completed in 2009, is the city's largest.
