Join CWF's Executive Director David Wheeler at the Johnson Public Library from 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM for a presentation on Wild New Jersey: Nature Adventures in the Garden State. Wild New Jersey describes Wheeler’s whirlwind year-long tour of the most ecologically diverse state for its size in America. Along with the expert guidance of charismatic wildlife biologists and local conservationists, he explores mountains, valleys, beaches, pine barrens, caves, rivers, marshlands, and more—breathtaking landscapes and the state’s Noah’s Ark of fascinating creatures.

Join CWF Biologist Todd Pover at the Cape May City Library as he discusses some of New Jersey's endangered beach nesting birds. Although they share the same beach habitat to nest and raise their chicks, each species has its own unique behaviors and life cycle. Against all odds, these birds struggle to survive on some of the most heavily visited beaches on the East Coast.
