This talk, presented by Kristina Necovska, will survey the plant communities native to New Jersey, both common ones and ones that are unique to our state. From High Point to Cape May, New Jersey is home to some unique assemblages of plants and is an important center of biodiversity in the Northeastern United States. This program will help you appreciate your home state’s native plant and animal communities and learn about publicly available tools and data you can use to help you in your research and garden planning.
