Though few people had these on their shopping lists at the start of 2020, face masks have become arguably the most important way to stay healthy for New Jerseyans in the face of COVID-19.

Conserve Wildlife Foundation is now offering attractive and durable masks featuring our falcon-themed logo, so you can protect yourself – and protect wildlife at the same time!

Our face masks can be purchased here at $10.00 per mask.

CWF masks come in three colors: black or navy with a white CWF logo, or white with a black CWF logo. They are made of cotton and are three-ply, which makes wearing this mask very comfortable. The CWF logo is displayed on the right side of each mask. With a simple design and soft material, these masks are a convenient way to not only protect yourself and others, but also to show support for CWF. 

Governor Murphy’s executive order in April required wearing face coverings at public indoor locations, and a more recent executive order required face masks to be worn outdoors when social distancing is not feasible. As we have seen throughout the past few months, face coverings are crucial for keeping New Jerseyans safe amid the COVID-19 pandemic. 

One negative impact of the pandemic on wildlife is the improper disposal of plastic disposable masks. Plastic debris has been an ongoing issue for marine wildlife, as this debris can harm or even kill marine species and other wildlife. Disposable face masks add to the amount of plastic debris that can harm marine wildlife, especially at common summer spots such as the beach. 

Since CWF’s face mask is reusable, using our face mask is also a way to protect wildlife. You can stay safe and show support for CWF by purchasing one of our new face masks!
