ExploreThe Northwest, AKA the Skylands

The Bobcat Project
In a landscape largely devoid of major predators, bobcats are a throwback to the wild animals that once ruled our forests. In many ways, they embody New Jersey’s spirit of the wilderness.
The Bog Turtle Project
Historically, bog turtles ranged from upstate New York through Georgia and as far west as Tennessee; however, continued development and habitat degradation has destroyed much of the bog turtles’ habitat.
The Golden-winged Warbler Project
The state-endangered golden-winged warbler (Vermivora chrysoptera) uses young forest habitat to forage, mate and rear their young.
The Brook Trout Project
Brook trout are an indicator species, meaning when they are present it is a good sign of a healthy stream system. Populations have reduced due to many reasons, including manipulated stream habitats and elevated water temperatures.
