Natural Heritage Grid Map (TABLE) for New Jersey

The Natural Heritage Grid Map was produced to provide a general portrayal of the geographic locations of rare plant species and rare ecological communities for the entire state without providing sensitive detailed information. By consulting the map, users can do broad scale analysis of potentially sensitive areas to determine the generalized location of rare plant species and rare ecological community occurrences. An associated data table may be linked or related to the NHPGRID table in order to display information about the individual occurrences of rare plant species and rare ecological communities within any cell. If additional information is needed regarding localized areas within a cell, a Natural Heritage Database search can be requested by contacting the Office of Natural Lands Management at: Office of Natural Lands Management, Division of Parks and Forestry, NJ Department of Environmental Protection, P.O.
