4. To work with individuals and communities to peacefully resolve conflicts with wildlife. We are delighted to report that our new Headquarters is now completed (photo shows Trustee Dave Sauder on porch). Jen Collins, our manager, has now relocated our office and residential quarters to the new building.
She has an enviable stunning view of the main pond. We still need, however, to raise a further $27,995 in order to finish paying for the project. Three hundred and twenty-eight bears killed; please take action to end this brutal slaughter.

Veganism
Report
Although the Refuge charter did not address the issue of veganism, it has become clear that this is a pivotal issue. We recognize that being a vegan because one is concerned about others who share this planet with us extends beyond just dietary choices. It governs everything we do, all the choices we make each day, in order to minimize our negative impact on all animals.

We include this literature here as a tribute to Hope and her unceasing efforts to protect all animals and to educate the public to do the same. When reading these, please bear in mind that these were written many years ago. The message of compassion and kindness, however, is timeless. 2019 (Mar) Wettest year on record takes toll on some Pinelands trails, by Avalon Zoppo, The Press of Atlantic City (file copy; click again to enlarge).
Refuge video and audio recordings
Report
After being recorded for a short while on a log in the main pond, this eastern painted turtle 'had enough' and slid off to hide in the water. We were not expecting this and only had a mobile phone to record her. Raccoons are not the only curious ones in the woods. This small opossum finds what we thought was a well-concealed trail camera on a tree at the Refuge and takes a picture of herself.
