Does Garden State Greenways identify everything that needs to be protected?
In a word, no. There are several reasons for this. Garden State Greenways is only as good as the information that it uses. None of the information sources used are perfect, so they might omit important endangered species habitat or newly acquired open space, for instance. Futhermore, the techniques used to identify hubs and connectors were meant to be consistent across the state, so some locally important areas might be missed because of the statewide focus. All of this means that Garden State Greenways should be use as guide or starting point for identifying preservation priorities, not as the definitive source.
