Our most ambitious project yet, the Hazlet Township Carbon Initiative will create a comprehensive carbon sink ecosystem combining trees and native plants. This initiative will showcase how municipalities can turn open spaces into powerful tools for climate action while enriching the community environment.
The Hazlet Township Carbon Initiative is a bold step forward in community-driven climate action. By blending trees and diverse native plants, this project will create a thriving carbon sink designed to enhance local biodiversity, mitigate urban heat, and inspire other municipalities to adopt sustainable land use practices.
We are currently finalizing cost estimates, designing the planting strategy, and recruiting volunteers to support this effort.
We're seeking volunteers with a variety of skills to help make this ambitious project a success. This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience with environmental restoration while making a tangible impact on climate change in your community.
Interested community members can apply through our volunteer application form.
Our carefully selected plant species for the Holmdel Carbon Garden were chosen for their carbon sequestration capabilities, adaptability to the local climate, and aesthetic appeal. Each plant plays a specific role in maximizing the garden's environmental impact.
Status: In Progress

Donate to This ProjectThe final impact of the Hazlet Township Carbon Initiative will depend on the total funds raised and the number of plants and trees established. Our goal is to maximize carbon sequestration while enhancing local biodiversity and green space. We will update the estimated carbon impact as the project scope is finalized.
Based on similar projects, we anticipate significant benefits for both carbon sequestration and the local community:
