    Artificial Reef Management Plan for New Jersey
    ([Trenton, N.J.] : Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Fish and Wildlife, 2005-12) Figley, Bill; New Jersey. Department of Environmental Protection. Division of Fish and Wildlife
    In 1987, the Division of Fish and Wildlife prepared and published an Artificial Reef Plan, which outlined the objectives of the Reef Program and provided guidelines for selecting reef sites and materials and building, monitoring and managing reefs. This current plan supersedes the original and incorporates the experiences gained from over 20 years of reef-building efforts.

    Connecting Habitat Across New Jersey (CHANJ): Guidance Document, Version 1.0
    ([Trenton, N.J.] : New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Fish and Wildlife, 2019-04) New Jersey. Department of Environmental Protection. Division of Fish and Wildlife; Zarate, Brian; Fowles, Gretchen; Hall, MacKenzie; CHANJ Working Group
    Animals need to be able to move through the landscape to find food, shelter, mates, and other resources. Without that ability to move, healthy populations simply cannot persist over the long term. Here in New Jersey, wildlife are up against steady urbanization, a dense network of roads, and now a changing climate, all of which put the connectedness of our habitats and wildlife populations in jeopardy. CHANJ is an effort to make our landscape more permeable for terrestrial wildlife by identifying key areas and actions needed to preserve and restore habitat connectivity across the state. This initiative is designed to help 1) prioritize land protection, 2) inform habitat restoration and management, and 3) guide mitigation of barrier effects on wildlife and habitats. CHANJ offers tools and resources to guide these goals forward in a strategic way and help target local, regional, and state planning efforts.

    New Jersey's Wildlife Action Plan
    (Trenton, N.J. : New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Fish and Wildlife, 2018-03) New Jersey. Department of Environmental Protection. Division of Fish and Wildlife
    State Wildlife Action Plans are proactive plans created by virtually every state and U.S. territory that assess the health of each state's wildlife and habitats, identify the problems they face, and outline the actions that are needed to conserve them over the long term. The New Jersey Wildlife Action Plan identifies both priority species and habitats, assesses the threats they face and outlines actions to take to improve or stabilize their condition. New Jersey's 2018 Plan identifies species of greatest conservation need in New Jersey, as well as 107 focal species that are of the highest conservation priority. We expect the revised SWAP to continue to provide a guide to actions that will protect our species of greatest conservation need.

    Results from the 2012 Quail Action Plan Landowner Survey
    (Trenton, N.J. : New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Fish and Wildlife, 2012) Burnett, Andrew W.
    A survey was conducted in the winter of 2012 to determine the current practices and preferences of New Jersey landowners. Landowners were chosen from three southern counties that remain primarily rural, agricultural areas. Five hundred eighty‐one mail questionnaire surveys were sent to landowners that received a Farmer Deer Shotgun Permit. Completed surveys were returned from 219 respondents for an adjusted response rate of 37.7%. The average parcel size was 103 acres. Landowners had been farming/managing their land for an average of 24 years and 82% said that they had their primary residence on their land parcel. Sixty‐six percent of these parcels contained hardwood forests, 63% contained row crops, 49% had pasture/hay, 47% contained at least some wetlands and 22% contained pine forests. Sixty‐five percent of landowners indicated some level of interest in managing for quail on their property and only 13% indicated low or no interest in managing for quail. Seventy‐two percent of landowners said they actively manage for wildlife on their property. The most common type of wildlife management was food plots (85%), followed by 66% for field borders and hedgerows, 17% for pine thinning, livestock fencing and fallow cropping, 15% for rotational disking and 5% for prescribed burning. Landowners considered 42% of their land cover for wildlife. Only 16% of landowners indicated that they received financial assistance through government programs. Fifty‐nine percent of landowners said they were interested in providing habitat for quail on their land. However, only 20% of landowners indicated that they were willing to convert some of their land into quail habitat; an additional 39% said maybe/unsure and 41% said they would not convert their land into quail habitat.
