Announcing our 2026 NJ Wildlife Conference Keynote Speaker!

We’re excited to welcome Kim Korth, SWAP Coordinator/Planner with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Endangered and Nongame Species Program, as the keynote speaker for the 2026 New Jersey Chapter of The Wildlife Society NJ Wildlife Conference!

Keynote: Implementing NJ’s Wildlife Action Plan to Improve At-Risk Species Populations.

As State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) Coordinator/Planner, Kim has played a central role in the development and implementation of New Jersey’s Wildlife Action Plan. Her keynote will explore how this comprehensive conservation framework can be translated into on-the-ground action—and ultimately, measurable improvements in populations of New Jersey’s at-risk species.

Join us to learn how wildlife professionals, researchers, land managers, conservation organizations, and communities can work together to turn the Wildlife Action Plan into meaningful conservation outcomes.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

Plant a tree, do a beach cleanup, build a wood duck box (even if it’s for a squirrel to inhabit) 🌱 ♻️ 🦆

Just do your part to give back to Mother Nature for all she’s done for us and leave the earth better than you found it! 🏞️
