Big shoutout to the Ogilvy team for their amazing work during their day of Service with New Jersey Audubon. During their visit to two sites- Scherman Hoffman Wildlife Sanctuary and Lorrimer Sanctuary- they rolled up their sleeves. The dedication they showed in helping NJA's conservation efforts was inspiring, from the restoration project in front of Scherman Hoffman to preparing the wildlife habitat garden at Lorrimer for native plants (to be planted in just two weeks!). Thank you, Ogilvy, for making a real impact in nature! To learn more about Day of Service day's and volunteer opportunities please contact [email protected]

Thanks to the amazing volunteers from NYK Group and IPM Inc. who joined us at Scherman Hoffmann Wildlife Sanctuary for a team-building volunteer day! The day began with a warm welcome from Jan Hudson, our center director, followed by a brief training on invasive species. We removed invasive species around the sanctuary and redesigned our bird feeder area as a team. Repurposed rocks from the bird feeder area were used as barriers for future native plantings. After the team completed their projects, we went for a scenic walk around the property, exploring the headwaters of the Passaic River and spotting toads and wood frogs in the frog pond along the way. The team-building day had a significant impact on conservation efforts, and we are grateful for the support. Once again, thank you to our dedicated volunteers for making the difference!
