One of the goals of the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ is to raise awareness about NJ’s rare, threatened, and endangered wildlife. One way CWF accomplishes this is by developing materials, programs, and contests targeted towards New Jersey teachers and students. From the Highlands to the Jersey Shore, New Jersey is home to a great diversity of wildlife species that share our environment with us. Protecting habitat for wildlife ensures protected land, water and air for our future and our children’s future.

We encourage students of all ages to look closely at the wildlife and landscapes of their own schoolyard, backyard, and community.
