NJ is a place of mountains, pinelands, hardwood forests, a vast array of wildlife,
and 130 miles of beaches that we call “Down the Shore.” Home to over 400 species of birds,
the NJ Audubon Society hosts the World Series of Bird Watching held here every spring in Cape May. American Bald Eagles live
in 17 NJ counties. Black bears live in all of the states 21 counties. The New Jersey Pinelands is
a unique forest known for its reptiles, amphibians, predatory birds, colorful orchids, and carnivorous plants. Designated
as a Biosphere Reserve by the United Nations it covers almost a quarter of the states land area. The NJ Highlands and Kittatinny Ridge host 72 miles of the Appalachian Trail. The Ramapo Mountains in NJ are
home to the most densely timbered areas in North America.
The Jersey Shore is like no other place with
some of the best surfing spots on the East Coast, 100's of colorful beach towns, and the classic Jersey boardwalks at
Asbury Park, Point Pleasant, Seaside, Atlantic City, Ocean City, and Wildwood. Over 17% of NJ land belongs to small family run farms that grow over 70 different
crops. They are a leading producer for blueberries, cranberries, and peaches. Got Asparagus? All
