To the Editor:

While many retirees are moving out of state, I decided to retire right here in New Jersey. I recently moved from Hunterdon to Ocean County.

One of the reasons I love New Jersey is because of its inherent natural beauty, and the dedication of its citizens to responsible environmental stewardship. Ocean County is especially beautiful because of its beaches, marshes, wildlife (notably the migrating birds along the great Atlantic Flyway), public parks and open spaces and the Pine Barrens.
