Jersey Shore AWS Chapter 2023 Woodcock Habitat Project

Come Get Involved! Pre-registration as a volunteer is required.

The Jersey Shore chapter of the American Woodcock Society in partnership with NJ Fish and Wildlife have identified our Spring 2023 woodcock habitat project at Dennis Creek WMA, Cape May County NJ.

The NJ Fish and Wildlife team has begun the reclamation of a series of fields. They will be hydro axing a total of 6 acres.

Next steps would be to plant 100 Northern Bayberry seedlings to create staggered growth.

The Jersey Shore chapter of the American Woodcock Society will assist by providing a group of volunteers to plant the Northern Bayberry seedlings. Then apply seedling protector tubes, bamboo stakes and wire ties so we can protect the seedlings as they mature.

We also would like to thank Animals & Gardens Unlimited (New Egypt, NJ) for donating to our habitat projects and helping offset costs.

Now all we need is you! Please note due to insurance regulations, you need to be an active member of the American Woodcock Society or the Ruffed Grouse Society.
