Friends of Cape May National Wildlife Refuge

Dear Friends, Your friends at the CMNWR hope that you are at ease with whatever has come your way during this time of hardship. We send condolences from our hearts to all of you who have suffered loss.  And now after all we have endured,  there is the welcome sight of light coming through the fog. Though most of the trails on the refuge have been open throughout the pandemic, our programs, Visitor's Center and activities have been suspended.  Now, we are very happy to be able to re-start the guided nature walks as well as to open the Visitor's Center, with the use of recommended protocols.  And the refuge is ready to welcome you.  With the Wild Cherry Tree in bloom, Osprey flying from the ocean with their catch of the day,  an occasional Bald Eagle overhead and the earnest persistent call of the Chuck Will's Widow throughout the night, the refuge is full of life and beauty.

Partner Category

We often partner with non-governmental conservation organizations on conservation projects, whether it's to conserve identified species such as the monarch butterfly or to advise on land acquisition for conservation so that it has the greatest benefit for species.

Those who experience the outdoors and wildlife first-hand become its greatest conservationists.  We partner with these groups to foster their love of wildlife and conservation.

Here we partner with a wider variety of other organizations on projects to meet shared conservation goals.
