Wildlife cams, lesson plans, and more

At the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey, we’re passionate about sharing the incredible stories of the state’s rare and remarkable wildlife living right in our midst. Our education programs bring these fascinating tales straight to your home, school, office, or community. Whether it’s through the eyes of our expert biologists or the guidance of our environmental education specialists, we’re excited to connect with you and share our experiences.

Species on the Edge

Geared towards fifth grade and high school students

Every year, our Species on the Edge contests inspire young students to become passionate advocates for New Jersey’s rare wildlife. Through creative essays and artwork, grade-school students have the chance to raise awareness and make a real impact. We created the Species on the Edge High School Learning Challenge to give high school students the opportunity to champion endangered species and protect the natural beauty of our region.
