Requires forest stewardship plan for certain lands acquired for recreation and conservation purposes.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), local governments, and qualifying nonprofits to create forest stewardship plans for lands acquired for recreation or conservation that contain 25+ acres of forested area using state funds like the Green Acres program. The plans must be developed within two years of land acquisition (or five years for existing state-owned lands) and submitted to the DEP for approval within 30 days, with revisions required if disapproved. All plans must follow existing DEP rules to ensure forest sustainability, and the DEP must give higher priority to funding applications from entities that already maintain stewardship plans on their lands. The policy directly affects landowners using state conservation funds, aiming to standardize forest management across protected areas.
