New Jersey has allocated $11 million for nature-based climate change projects in 2026, focusing on carbon removal and mitigation efforts. Key recipients include the Wetlands Institute in Stone Harbor, which will receive nearly $2.75 million for tidal wetland restoration, Stafford Township, awarded $5 million for salt marsh restoration, and Montclair State University, which will get over $3 million for tree planting. This initiative supports the state's goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% from 2006 levels by 2050.
