North/Central New Jersey Field Training
for the Protection of Threatened and Endangered Wildlife
9:00am - 3:30m
Morris County Cultural Center
300 Mendham Road
Morristown
This unique, day-long workshop will increase environmental commissioners’
competency in addressing habitat issues in their communities.
It will include both lecture and outdoor fi eld observation training in areas that
exhibit typical suburban fragmented forest with potential for Threatened & Endangered (T&E) species such as savannah sparrow and wood turtle.
You will learn about New Jersey’s T&E laws, and how to:
- identify species, landscape types and characteristics,
- prepare rare species sighting reports,
- use species and habitat information in land use planning, and
- review wildlife information submitted by developers.
Who Should Attend:
Because this training highlights the habitats of southern Morris County
(around the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge), it is most suitable for commissioners from Somerset, Morris, Essex and Union Counties.
Class size is limited to 30. Participants will meet at the Cultural Center for initial
instruction, then drive in groups to other locations within a 10-mile radius.
Hiking will not be strenuous. Rain or shine.
Registration:
ANJEC Members $35
Non-Members $40

Partnering for Wildlife Habitat
6:00pm - 8:30pm
Stockton College, Kramer Hall
30 Front Street
Hammonton
Habitat loss is considered to be the leading cause of species extinctions. Wildlife need places to feed, rest, and reproduce, but each year more and more
wildlife habitat is lost, damaged or fragmented by development.
Landowners and municipal officials can help reverse habitat loss through implementing active conservation and restoration programs.
Find out how partnering with local, statewide and federal organizations is a practical, economical way to protect and restore native habitats.
Learn about initiatives, programs and technologies funded through federal, state, non-profit and Atlantic City Electric partnerships.
The workshop also includes an introduction to a comprehensive cloudbased
GIS tool that helps provide safe and reliable power while protecting and enhancing resources, including threatened and endangered species.
Registration is free, but please RSVP by May 6.
