Staff

The Land Conservancy of New Jersey has experienced tremendous growth during our 27-year history as we have evolved from an all volunteer organization to a regional leader in open space preservation. In 1994, the Conservancy could no longer function on volunteers alone and hired its first permanent staff. David Epstein became The Land Conservancy's first full time Executive Director. The Conservancy staff has grown from a single employee in 1994 to fifteen today – which include project managers and planning, mapping and land preservation specialists.
