Pledge Summary

The Town of Clinton is a small historic river community in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, where residents place a strong value on environmental stewardship, open space preservation, and quality of life. Located along the South Branch of the Raritan River, the town is supported by an active Environmental Commission, Green Team, and community partners that work to protect natural resources and promote sustainability. Clinton is renewing its participation in the National Wildlife Federation’s Mayors’ Monarch Pledge to continue expanding habitat for monarch butterflies and other pollinators. The town has established native pollinator gardens, supported community planting initiatives, and incorporated pollinator-friendly practices into municipal landscapes. Clinton also recognizes the importance of addressing light pollution as part of ecosystem health. Efforts to promote responsible outdoor lighting help protect nocturnal pollinators, migratory wildlife, and the night environment while maintaining public safety. Through this pledge, Clinton reaffirms its commitment to biodiversity, education, and long-term environmental resilience.
