The
full-color, 160-page guide is a cornerstone of the Division's Wildlife
Diversity Tours/Watchable Wildlife Program and showcases 87 sites throughout
New Jersey where people can observe and learn about our state's incredible array
of wildlife and the variety of habitats that support it. Viewing sites are as
diverse as the wildlife present and include wildlife management areas, state parks
and forests, national wildlife refuges and recreation areas, county and municipal
parks and conservation organization lands. For the purpose of the guide, the state
has been divided into eight regions: Ridge and Valley, Highland, Metro, Piedmont,
Lower Delaware River, Pinelands, Shore and Delaware Bay/Cape May Peninsula. Sites
are organized by region, each accompanied by directions, an ecological description,
wildlife viewing opportunities and facility/amenity information. |

requiring all waterfowl hunters aged 16 and older to buy state waterfowl stamps.
The Division currently administers the program for the purpose of purchasing wetlands
for waterfowl habitat. To date, proceeds from the sale of New Jersey's duck stamps
and prints have raised more than $3.9 million to acquire wetlands for waterfowl
habitat and public use. More than 13,000 acres of waterfowl habitat have been
