Establishes a program for the acquisition of development easements on privately-owned woodlands in New Jersey.
The bill establishes a program in the State Agriculture Development Committee (SADC) for the acquisition of development easements on privately-owned woodlands. The purpose of the program is to promote the preservation and stewardship of lands for agricultural, silvicultural, and horticultural use and production, and to protect the State’s forested lands. To be eligible for the acquisition of development rights under the program, a woodland must be at least 20 acres in size and be devoted, in whole or in part, to either agricultural production or the production for sale of tree or forest.
