Adopt a Bald Eagle
We have a pair of Eagles that nest along Patcong Creek. They are frequently seen flying above the creek or nesting in the hardwood trees along the upland areas.
Adopt a Yellow-Crowned Night Heron
Populations declined throughout the 1980s. Habitat loss and degradation continues to threaten these beautiful birds.
New Jersey Estuary
Indicator Species
Adopt a Muskrat
Healthy muskrat populations require healthy marsh habitats. Disturbed marsh areas and environmental pollution will decline populations—showing there is a bigger problem.
Adopt a Blue Crab
Blue Crabs are our pride and joy. They are the reason we started this foundation to protect the Patcong Creek—a place they love to call home.
