New Jersey A2766 establishes a prescribed burn program to manage forests and reduce wildfire risk.

New Jersey A2766 amends the Prescribed Burn Act to establish a comprehensive prescribed burn program. The Department of Environmental Protection must develop and administer this program within 18 months of the bill's enactment. The program includes setting annual goals for prescribed burns, with a minimum of 50,000 acres in the pinelands and 10,000 acres elsewhere in the state. It mandates that all prescribed burns occur between November and March, before the wildfire season.
