Environmental Issues
Downe Township is unique for many reasons not the least of which is our wonderful natural surroundings. Those of us who live here realize that we have one of New Jersey's best kept secrets right in our own backyard.
We have some of the state's best fishing, crabbing, hunting and bird watching.
Downe Township is extremely unique in that a very large amount of land within the township is exempt from taxation for environmental reasons.
The Environmental Issues section of this site will inform you of recent, as well as past, issues effecting our immediate environment.
