You have to admit, these little buggers are pretty cute!

Today is Endangered Species Day!

The Bog Turtle is one of New Jersey’s endangered species, and it is also New Jersey’s official state reptile. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lists the Bog Turtle as federally threatened and it’s one of the rarest turtles in the United States. This secretive, palm-sized turtle is now found in as few as nine counties, such as the rural areas of Sussex, Warren and Salem. Bog turtles have very specific habitat needs and populations are sensitive to changes in their environment.

Wishing everyone a happy from your favorite wetland delineators😁!

It's !

Wetlands provide a source of clean water, control erosion, reduce the effects of flooding, and provide a habitat for many plant and animal species. In late 2022, the National Park Service completed the restoration of 20 acres of wetlands at the former Watergate Recreation Site within Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. In the 1900s, this area was manipulated to create shallow ponds, mowed lawns, dams, and levees along Van Campens Brook which resulted in the loss of the historic wetlands. The restored wetland and stream are already benefiting the surrounding area by providing excellent bird habitat, diverse native plant species, an improved cold-water fishery in Van Campens Brook, and reduced flooding downstream during storm events.

Did you know that constructed wetlands can also be used to treat polluted water from abandoned mines? The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) has used constructed wetlands at several sites, including at Flight 93 National Memorial. The Flight 93 Memorial – located on a former coal mine near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and the site of the September 11, 2001, crash – honors the flight’s passengers and crew with spaces for reflection, habitat restoration, and educational initiatives. In 2012, OSMRE provided funding and technical assistance to construct wetlands and treat polluted water containing iron and manganese leaking out of the former mine into nearby streams. The wetlands are now a self-sustaining natural habitat and aquatic ecosystem.
