Wings, Wetlands & Seals: Wild Brigantine
Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge protects more than 48,000 acres of southern New Jersey coastal habitats. More than 82 percent of Forsythe refuge is wetlands, of which 78 percent is salt marsh, interspersed with shallow coves and bays. The refuge’s location in one of the Atlantic Flyway’s most active flight paths makes it an important link in seasonal bird migration.
Friends of Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge is dedicated to the conservation and protection of the natural resources and wildlife of the Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. The organization engages the community through educational programs, volunteer opportunities, and advocacy efforts to promote awareness and stewardship of this vital habitat.
