Welcome to WILD NEW JERSEY.  I am launching this blog to create a one-stop source for everything you need on wildlife and conservation in the Garden State.  This blog will serve as the most comprehensive online site guide to New Jersey's wildlife, conservation and environmental organizations, wildlife reports, species checklists, and upcoming events.

From New Jersey Audubon's weekly bird sightings highlights, to N.J. Fish & Wildlife's state species checklists, to daily breaking news, I hope to help you find whatever you're looking for. 

I will update the blog several times each week to provide links to new articles on nature in New Jersey - from the birds of Cape May, to the skyscraper-dwelling peregrine falcons of Jersey City, to the return of the hard-to-spot fisher to Northwest New Jersey. 

With WILD NEW JERSEY, we can explore the untapped safari of wildlife in New Jersey - through the eyes of a nature enthusiast, and through the stories and words of the people who know a locale or species best.  I will depend on readers like you to contribute your own sightings and stories, press releases, eye-catching photos, colorful anecdotes, links to interesting articles and sites, and event announcements. 

From porcupines to sharks to bobcats to sandhill cranes, there's no shortage of stunning wildlife in New Jersey.  Join me on this Garden State Safari.  Send me your latest announcements, sightings and stories, or tell me what you'd like to see in WILD NEW JERSEY: dwheeler@edisonwetlands.org.

Together, we can spread the word that against all odds, nature still has a place in the Garden State.
