Wild New Jersey Exclusive: How many trees can a woodchuck climb?


                                                
                                                          

Woodchucks are more usually found along grassy highway buffers, or wreaking havoc on farm pastures and suburban fields.  But they can climb trees, too.  One woodchuck was found climbing a tree on a recent hike through the 1,240-acre Dismal Swamp Conservation Area in Edison.

    I just got video of my Woodchuck climbing down from a tree. Never saw him climb before, nor have I ever seen one climb. Now I find it's common for them.
