Along the Delaware Estuary, a remarkable transformation has been unfolding - quietly, steadily and with profound impact.
Since 1994, our Estuary Enhancement Program has been reshaping thousands of acres of wetlands and uplands across New Jersey and Delaware, demonstrating what long-term corporate environmental stewardship can achieve. As one of the largest privately funded salt marsh restoration initiatives in the nation, the program has revitalized more than 20,000 acres of critical habitat.
The osprey have made a remarkable comeback in the estuary - thanks in part to the improved habitat and nesting conditions created by the Estuary Enhancement Program."
-Rebecca, environmental specialist
These wetlands do far more than paint a scenic backdrop. They filter water, buffer communities from storms and support an extraordinary range of wildlife. Among the most inspiring success stories is the resurgence of the osprey. Once endangered, these iconic birds of prey have flourished thanks to restored marshes, improved waterways and the installation of nesting platforms that have helped more than 800 young ospreys take flight.

But the benefits extend beyond wildlife.
By restoring natural systems, reconnecting waterways and inviting the public to explore these revitalized landscapes, the program strengthens biodiversity, enhances climate resilience and fosters a deeper connection between people and the environment.
Our Estuary Enhancement Program is more than a restoration effort - it's a dedication to renewal. And with every osprey soaring above the marsh, it offers a powerful reminder that sustainability can be a legacy we build together.
