25 Years of Conservation: “Signs of Hope in a Race Against Time”

As we celebrate the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey’s (CWF) 25th anniversary, we reflect on a quarter-century of dedication to protecting and restoring the Garden State’s rare and at-risk wildlife. Over the years, your support has helped us achieve milestones that were once unimaginable—most recently being the recovery and expected delisting of bald eagles and ospreys.

Our new video, “Signs of Hope in a Race Against Time,” encapsulates the heart of our mission and showcases the transformative impact of conservation efforts across New Jersey. Narrated by our founder and first Executive Director, Linda Tesauro, this video tells the story of how CWF came to be and the powerful partnerships that have fueled our work for the past 25 years. CWF has been a leader in field science, habitat restoration, education, and public engagement. Check out the video below and discover why this mission is so close to our hearts.

This year also marked a significant milestone with A Wild Affair, our 25th-anniversary celebration. The event brought together conservationists, supporters, and partners who have been essential to our success. It was a night filled with gratitude, inspiration, and a shared commitment to protecting New Jersey’s unique wildlife for generations to come.

As 2024 draws to a close, we look ahead with hope and determination. Challenges remain, and the need to act has never been more urgent. Together, we can create a brighter future for these species and the habitats they call home. Your year-end donation is crucial to carrying our mission forward. It ensures we can continue vital work like monitoring nesting sites, restoring critical habitats, and engaging communities in conservation. Help us make 2025 another year of progress and promise for New Jersey’s wildlife.

Thank you for standing with us and for being part of this incredible journey. Here’s to the next 25 years of conservation success!
