Check it out! A local supporter sent this incredible video of a bobcat stalking through the woods near Blairstown. Bobcats are one of the many species that benefit from our land preservation efforts in NJ, where habitat loss and forest fragmentation continue to challenge their small population, disconnecting them from their historic range and pushing them more frequently into busy roadways.

Did you know? Bobcat are one of the key species the state government had in mind when they initiated the Connecting Habitat Across New Jersey (CHANJ) project, which aims to create tools and resources that will help natural resource managers, transportation planners, conservation professionals, and universities work together to reconnect the landscape in New Jersey. As you can see, their work is paying off!

The weather was crisp and sunny and the mood bittersweet as 150 friends and partners joined us at South Branch Preserve to celebrate David Epstein's retirement and TLCNJ's plan to preserve another 30,000 acres of land. The program capped off with a ch*****ne toast and David being presented with a personalized, handmade walking stick emblazoned with plants and animals native to NJ.

On Monday, 10/26 at 7:30pm we'll be hiking through the lesser-known southern section of South Branch Preserve for a viewing of the full Hunter Moon!

This event is a free, family-friendly 1.5 mile walk on a flat, grassy path, with a few small stream crossings over boards that are easy for most. We will stroll out to a moonlit meadow, where we'll hand out star charts and stargaze over tea and cookies, looking for planets and our favorite constellations. Registration is required (link in the comments).

Our Ridge and Valley team hasn't slowed down one bit since we joined forces earlier this month. With our combined resources, we'll be able to do more conservation work than ever before in northwestern New Jersey!

In the midst of exciting change for our organization—including saying goodbye to longtime staff and welcoming new faces—TLCNJ is doing what we do best: preserving land. Click through to the new Outdoor Issues to learn about new land acquisitions, 30 years of our landmark Partners for Greener Communities program, the young environmentalists who were awarded $100K in scholarships, and saying goodbye to Barbara Davis.

At TLCNJ we nicknamed this property the Hundred Acre Wood, and it just became part of our Yards Creek Preserve, which was established to help preserve the Delaware River Watershed and biodiversity along the eastern slopes of the Kittatinny Ridge. The Stony Brook runs through this mature forest, which is within the NJDEP’s CHANJ Core area, a region that connects habitat to benefit wildlife. Preserving this land is a big accomplishment, so thanks to TNC and all our partners who helped make this happen!

An enthusiastic flock of birders visited South Branch Preserve last week for an educational walk with Stewardship Manager Dennis, and boy, did they learn a lot! We are looking forward to learning even more about the birds that rely on our preserves by installing audio recording units (ARUs) to record and analyze birdsongs. These ARUs will track the different bird species that make our lands home or use them to rest during migration.

Our president David Epstein was recently honored by the New Jersey Highlands Coalition with the Candace McKee Ashmun Capstone Award, which recognizes individuals with a longstanding commitment to conservation in the Highlands region. Coalition director Julia Somers noted that David "built TLC from the ground up beginning with a borrowed computer in 1994, ...and was instrumental in founding the New Jersey Highlands Coalition as its own nonprofit."

We're so proud of you, David! Read WRNJ's coverage of the awards ceremony in the comments.
