Woodford Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge
Now a non-profit corporation, the refuge carries on the tradition of
the Woodfords. One of the largest Wildlife Rehabilitation Centers on
the east coast, the refuge hospital cares for about 2,000 animals
each year. Releasable animals are returned to their natural habitat,
while those that would not survive in the wild find a permanent home
here. Some are used as assistants in presentations. Deer, fox, hawks,
owls, snakes, turtles, geese and others have been treated here.
Family education programs range from nature tours to formal classes
on pine barren flora and fauna. Wilderness Survival classes can be
attended almost every week. Self-Guided Tours of the animal compound
can be taken. Lectures, presentations, and travel programs are
offered.
Located on the western edge of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, this
beautiful 184-acre refuge features a wide variety of important
habitat for our wildlife. Dry upland pine and oak forest, several
cedar swamps, and a lake are home to many species of mammals and
birds.
