Madison, NJ

Robert Conley

Mayor

Pledge Summary

The Borough of Madison is located in Morris County and has a population of just under 17,000. Madison is lucky to have many dedicated volunteers. Our Environmental Commission, Sustainable Madison Advisory Committee, and Community Garden Advisory Committee work collectively to protect the monarch and pollinators. I'm happy to sign the Monarch Pledge for the second consecutive year.
