Pledge Summary

Franklin Township, located in Somerset County, New Jersey, is home to over 65,000 residents and comprised of 46 square miles. With direct access to the Raritan and Millstone Rivers, nearly 10,000 of preserved open space, 2 beautiful grasslands preserves and approximately 50 miles of trails, Franklin has become a place for outdoor recreation, natural resources conservation, and environmental stewardship. The Township understands the importance of not only protecting our precious resources, but also in creating new habitat and opportunities for special, threatened and/or endangered species to flourish. By signing this Pledge and implementing a series of actions that protect, enhance and conserve the habitat of the Monarch Butterfly and other pollinators, Mayor Kramer and the Township Council recognize this need and pledge to incorporate these actions in the Township's planning and stewardship.
