Introducing the 2013 Women & Wildlife Honorees.
Through our annual Women & Wildlife Awards we recognize women who represent a broad range of wildlife protectors in our state:
- Tracy Leaver, who rehabilitates orphaned and injured animals, including bobcats and bears;
- Linda J. Mead, who has a distinguished record in permanently preserving over 15,000 acres of natural habitats, farms, and open space for New Jersey’s wildlife;
- Jo Ann Frier-Murza, who played an important role in protecting our most charismatic wildlife as part of the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife;
- Pat Sutton, who has educated about the natural world in New Jersey, especially in Cape May, for over 30 years; and
- Dr. Edith Wallace, who has devoted more than half a century to inspiring people, young and old, to make the wild places of New Jersey part of their everyday experiences.
At the event we will also commemorate the 40th Anniversary of New Jersey’s Endangered Species Conservation Act. This landmark legislation directed the Department of Environmental Protection to protect, manage and restore the State’s endangered and nongame wildlife species and allowed state biologists to bring key species back from the brink of extinction – species such as the bald eagle, peregrine falcon, and osprey.
