Summary

Cherry Hill has long been a leader in municipal sustainability in New Jersey. A Sustainable Jersey Silver Certified Community since 2010, Cherry Hill was among the first towns in the state to adopt its own municipal sustainability plan. Our trail system includes 11 trails throughout the township including woodland, meadow and marshlands. The Cherry Hill Environmental Board launched our initiative to become a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat Community in the spring of 2020, and with the help of our residents and businesses, we accomplished this goal in the fall of 2021. We are now one of only 6 certified NWF Habitat Communities in the state of NJ. We would like to urge any residents who have not already done so to consider joining our effort by registering their own backyard or balcony as a National Wildlife Federation Certified Habitat.
