Summary

Cranbury is one of the oldest towns in New Jersey, and the preservation of Cranbury’s historic character can be attributed to the concerns and efforts of its residents, past and present. The Environmental Commission was established in 1972 for the purpose of protecting, developing and using natural resources within the Township. The Commission is not a regulatory body, but is responsible for providing review and recommendations on open space preservation, water resource management, air pollution control, solid waste management, noise control, soil and landscape protection, and protection of flora and fauna. Cranbury Township Gardens for Wildlife is an extension of this commitment to preservation in all forms.
