This Primer can help stakeholders plan, design, and implement flood resilience projects on Blue Acres parcels (as well as any flood-prone open space). 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.
