Co-authored by CCRC partner Brooke Maslo, Associate Professor in the Rutgers Department of Ecology, Evolution and Natural Resources, this primer serves as a guide for creating flood-resilient landscapes across the communities of New Jersey. This guidance document is aimed at assisting municipal leaders, technical professionals, and other stakeholders in restoring ecological function to flood-prone landscapes as they work to make their communities more resilient.

This project is a collaboration between the Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station and South Dakota State University School of Design. Funding was provided by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection through the Bureau of Climate Resilience Planning’s Resilient NJ initiative, as well as a seed grant from the Rutgers Climate and Energy Institute.
