This Map Monday we begin a month-long endeavor of gathering stories from NJ citizens, municipalities and advocacy groups about how they use NJ MAP to aid in their work related to environmental, land use and sustainability issues throughout New Jersey. We chose this month because March 20th is World Storytelling Day and we always to hear from our users - their concerns, their success stories, their questions, their musings. Please help us learn more about the ways that NJ MAP has been or is involved in your work and life. 🔗Link in comments to tell us your story. 🔗 This week’s featured map: Blueprint’s Overview Map with the Conservation Stakeholder Focus Areas and Conversation Success Story Overview layers turned on.
