Wildlife sightings from the public are incredibly useful to New Jersey DEP Fish and Wildlife.
The division recently launched NJ Wildlife Tracker, a web application you can use from your cell phone or computer to report observations of rare wildlife species and wildlife of any kind on roadways. Your sightings of wildlife on roads will help the state’s wildlife team identify problem spots across the state – like places with frequent roadkill or at-risk species being impacted by roads. These can point us toward opportunities to build safer road-crossings for animals.
Please practice “Safety First” in every situation, especially along roadways.
