Brick Township High School and Point Pleasant Borough are the first school and municipality to be certified in the Jersey-Friendly Yards Stewardship Program
The Barnegat Bay Partnership is pleased to announce that Brick Township High School and Point Pleasant Borough are the first school and municipality to become certified in the Jersey-Friendly Yards (JFY) Stewardship Program. Developed through a grant from the NJ Department of Environmental Protection, the new program guides residents, schools, and municipalities in land use practices for a healthy environment and recognizes them as protectors of the Barnegat Bay.
Most of the water pollution in the bay is coming from the land areas that drain into it. Participants in the Jersey-Friendly Yards Stewardship Certification Program use land stewardship practices that protect water and provide valuable habitat for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife.
