The Sourland Conservancy is an environmental organization working to protect the Sourland region through education and advocacy. The Sourland region covers about 90 square miles of forest, grassland and wetland habitats that cross parts of Hunterdon, Mercer and Somerset counties, forming a biodiversity-rich landscape amid expanding development. It contains the largest contiguous forest in Central New Jersey and serves as an important stopover for Neotropical migrant songbirds, underscoring its ecological significance. The organization educates residents and visitors about the area's ecological, historical and recreational value and advocates for municipal ordinances to protect the Sourlands. Based in Skillman, New Jersey, the conservancy is a small environmental services organization. Its work engages residents, visitors and local governments through education and advocacy, including partnerships such as a Community Tree Decorating Contest with Hopewell Borough in 2023.
