The Environment of the Island
Originally the island was covered with high dunes and groves of cedar, holly, bayberry, oak and pine trees. To this day residents are aware of their environmental heritage and are always working to maintain the ecology of their island paradise. There is an ongoing program to preserve the dunes by planting of dune grasses, snow fencing and pathway maintenance. This area of high dunes is the only one remaining on the New Jersey coast.

Other environmental projects include approximately 1000 acres owned by the World Wildlife Fund, dedicated to keeping the area in its natural state, and the Stone Harbor Bird Sanctuary. This is the only heronry in the USA sponsored by a municipality and is registered as a National Landmark by the National Park Services. The Wetlands Institute, dedicated to research and education on wetlands and coastal ecosystems, covers 34 acres west of Stone Harbor.
