Breaking News: National Wildlife Federation and New Jersey Audubon Society Formally Join Forces
New Jersey Audubon Society, New Jersey’s leading conservation organization, and the National Wildlife Federation have joined forces to tackle today’s pressing conservation challenges. NWF’s Board of Directors voted to add New Jersey Audubon Society as the 47th state affiliate during its 74th annual meeting, held last week in Houston.
“Our partnership with the National Wildlife Federation will help us better protect New Jersey wildlife and precious natural resources to the benefit of New Jersey citizens, from Cape May to Sussex counties,” said Tom Gilmore, president of New Jersey Audubon. “Our organizations will share expertise, best practices and resources to ensure that New Jersey’s wildlife and open spaces can be enjoyed for generations to come. We also will be closely coordinating our efforts to connect children and families to nature, a top priority for both of our organizations.”
“We are delighted to welcome New Jersey Audubon into the Federation’s family as our 47th affiliate,” said Larry Schweiger, president & CEO of National Wildlife Federation. “NJ Audubon Society is an historic conservation leader in New Jersey, and our common efforts to restore and protect wildlife and its habitat, combat global warming and connect people with nature make this a natural affiliation. We’re excited to bring New Jersey Audubon Society’s influential conservation voice to our national efforts, and to support their state conservation work.”
