Crab Island Restoration
Location: Undefined Updated: July 29, 2009
Organization: Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ Primary contact: Ben Wurst
Since the 1950’s, a huge fish factory has been on Crab Island (in Seven Islands) to process menhaden for fertilizer, fish oil, and other fish products. It only operated for approximately 20-25 years until the great fish stocks of menhaden were depleted by overfishing. After the fishery collapsed, the Division of Fish and Wildlife purchased the area. Since then the “fish factory” has been slowly deteriorating and degrading the surrounding habitat. Restoration of the area has been planned since the acquisition; however, due to the high cost of environmental cleanup of hazardous materials that may be discovered at the site, it has not been done. The Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ seeks to partner with the Division of Fish and Wildlife to restore this important area for migratory birds, colonial long-legged wading birds, and many other species of marsh birds.
Bologna Place Improvement Project
Location: Grant County, OR Updated: December 09, 2009
Organization: Not provided Primary contact: Jeffrey Kee
The Bologna place needs riparian protections for steelhead, juniper control for upland improvements and spring development for livestock and wildlife watering. Project could include beaver introduction, juniper brush fencing, juniper control for watershed improvement. Brush piling for upland game birds and bitterbrush planting for improved big game habitat.
Mt. Pisgah Habitat Management Plan
Location: Lane County, OR Updated: July 08, 2009
Organization: Friends of Buford Park & Mt. Pisgah Primary contact: Chris Orsinger
This project will draw from a variety of resources and data to forge a consensus on habitat conservation strategies for the 2,300-acre Howard Buford Recreation Area (HBRA, aka Buford Park), managed by Lane County Parks Division. We will draft a park-wide Habitat Management Plan that identifies conservation targets, conservation strategies and high priority habitat enhancement projects at HBRA, the largest public ownership within OCS Conservation Opportunity Area: WV-03a Mt. Pisgah Area.
Ponderlodge Backyard Habitat Demonstration Site
Location: Cape May County, NJ Updated: July 29, 2009
Organization: Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ Primary contact: Ben Wurst
During the spring and fall the Cape May Peninsula, at the southern tip of New Jersey, plays an essential role in providing habitat for wildlife to rest and refuel. Each year, millions of migrating songbirds, raptors, and shorebirds are funneled into the Lower Peninsula during fall migration. Thousands of tourists and birders also flock to New Jersey each year to view this spectacular event. The “Ponderlodge Golf Course” was purchased in February 2006 by New Jersey’s Green Acres Program. It’s location near the Cape May Peninsula means that it is crucial for the survival of many migratory birds. After being purchased, it was instantly prized by residents and outdoor enthusiasts for its size, location, and recreational opportunities. The 253-acre golf course in its current state has little value to wildlife because of the poor habitat that exists there. Those who visit the site can still see the remnants of the golf course, including a lodge, mansion, paved trails, and many ponds and sand traps. All of the buildings are scheduled to be removed in 2009 by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The DEP also wants to restore the property by creating and enhancing the habitat there, but with a serious lack in government funding, no one knows when it might happen. This restoration project at “Ponderlodge” is desperately needed. The old “fairways” are covered with non-native grasses and the forests are small and sparse. This proposal guides the project and will result in the restoration and creation of a 1/2 acre of habitat for migratory birds and other wildlife for people to enjoy. It will focus on displaying features that homeowners can do to provide habitat for wildlife in their backyards. We plan to utilize other organizations, businesses, civic groups, and volunteers to help us plant trees and shrubs to help us achieve our goal.
