WNJ Exclusive: Travel blog award honors Wild New Jersey
And the winner is...WildNewJersey.tv! Our daily nature blog is the recipient of a 2011 Iglu Blog Award. A panel of judges reviewed hundreds of different sites and hand-picked the best for each travel category, and Wild New Jersey was among the elite selection of awardees for the New Jersey travel section.
"I am honored that WildNewJersey.tv was selected to receive the 2011 Iglu Blog Award," said David Wheeler, WildNewJersey.tv founder and author of Wild New Jersey: Nature Adventures in the Garden State. "Our blog - through the guidance of our staff and volunteers, and the expert wisdom of our columnists - shows that far from the stereotypes surrounding the Garden State, New Jersey is actually the most biodiverse state or region our size in the nation. No other state offers such diverse outdoor adventures and nature destinations within a short drive."
Iglu.com is an independent travel company offering expert advice, prices, and cruise deals on the widest selection of cruises online. Iglu is a venture-backed company with funds provided by Barclays Ventures, Geocapital and Sussex Place Investment Management.
The Iglu Award noted that "these New Jersey blogs are the top of the chart when it comes to providing you with the information you need to plan your trip. Whether you're going for a long tour or a brief weekend, we've got the blogs that'll guide you through New Jersey.
"Take in a beautiful sunset on the shores of the state of New Jersey or perhaps test your endurance on the many splendid mountains. If the cities are where you want to be heading then you'll get your fix in New Jersey - it isn't all countryside. America as a country prides itself in that everything it offers falls in the category of big and New Jersey as a state doesn't fail to deliver either.
"The Iglu team love the New Jersey section. These blogs bring a bit of that New Jersey evening magic to their readers. We're sure that after reading these New Jersey blogs - whether it's about leisure, food or walking - you'll be eager to book your tickets."
Founded in 2008 as the only daily nature blog in the Garden State, WildNewJersey.tv reaches thousands of readers each week as a one-stop source for nature, wildlife, and outdoor activities in the Northeast. Managed by the nonprofit Edison Wetlands Association, WildNewJersey.tv offers daily breaking news, features, photo investigations, and videos about New Jersey's wildlife, conservation, and nature events.
