MENDHAM – The borough-based Association of New Jersey Environmental Commissions (ANJEC) has been awarded a $190,500 grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) to help build capacity for construction of natural green stormwater infrastructure projects in underserved communities in the Rancocas Creek Watershed.

The grant will provide strategic resources and support to nine existing municipal environmental commissions in the watershed and help to establish additional environmental commissions to advance comprehensive watershed improvements that prevent flooding and water pollution and provide pollinator habitat, according to the non-profit.
