Working in three alive and thriving focus areas - forests and farms, coasts and wetlands, in the Garden Iand cities and towns - and drawing upon our expertise State, as we make in research, stewardship, advocacy, and education, deliberate choices New Jersey Audubon models conservation success about how we through innovation. The actions of our talented staff impact the planet. and volunteers convey a message of hope that nature The environmental can be conserved and accessible for all. movement first began as a reaction to The projects highlighted in this annual report, made the destructive powers of possible through the support of you - our loyal mankind –unbreathable air in our supporters, demonstrate conservation has a profound cities, rivers on fire, forests completely removed, and and lasting impact on wildlife, habitat, waters and the birds killed for fashion.

This is the motivation behind New Jersey Audubon’s healthy forests initiative, As you read through these pages, you’ll find that within our pioneering work with over 200 New Jersey schools each focus area New Jersey Audubon is empowering through the Eco-schools program, our internationally others to engage in and learn from the natural world, significant shorebird conservation efforts, our leadership and to become good stewards for the future. It is our of Coalition for the Delaware River Watershed initiative, core value that regardless of where you live, your income, the habitat restoration in our cities and towns, our gender, or ethnicity, everyone deserves access to high vibrant urban environmental education initiatives and quality habitat and wildlife. Access to nature in our own our amazing nature centers. communities should be a right not a privilege, and we have both the opportunity and obligation to ensure that The natural world is ours to celebrate, and this annual our children inherit a New Jersey rich with abundant report also highlights three remarkable partners who are wildlife and healthy, thriving natural lands and waters. doing just that – working in partnership with New Jersey Audubon as a force for good to conserve our wildlife, New Jersey Audubon is a leading innovator at connecting habitat, and water for people in New Jersey. people with nature right where they live, work and play. Farmers are turning fields into habitat for birds and other pollinators. Corporations are converting lawns into rich Of course, none of it would be possible without grassland and pollinator habitat.

Landowners are stewarding healthy forests. And government is managing and preserving land for wildlife, habitat, water and people, while laws are being passed to make it easier for all of us to do the right thing.

Protecting its sandy beaches, fertile marshes, sculpted dunes, and rare barrier islands means finding ways to balance a multitude of uses and needs. In 2015, New Jersey Audubon engaged all our tools of research, advocacy, conservation, and education to restore critical habitats, protect BLACK threatened and endangered SKIMMER wildlife, and ensure coastal resiliency in an era of rising sea level and storm intensity.

In early spring, our research team completed the habitat restoration phase at Stone Harbor, elevating nesting areas used by Piping Plover, American Oystercatcher, Least Tern, and Black Skimmer, and foraging and roosting habitat for Red Knot, Semipalmated Sandpiper and other migratory shorebirds. We moved into the assessment phase of our restoration to monitor any improvement in the abundance and diversity of potential food sources for migrating and beach- nesting shorebirds.

New Jersey Audubon celebrates the wild side of our cities and towns bringing people closer to nature right where they live through programs that draw attention to what’s hidden in plain view.

In 2015 we saw significant growth in our urban education programs in Jersey City, Newark, New Brunswick, Morristown and Linden by working with schools, afterschool programs and other youth-serving organizations. We partnered with the Newark Museum and the Newark Boys and Girls Club to establish an Urban Birding Club and introduce urban youths to the wonder of birds. Through Audubon on Call: Teaching S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) through Birds and Birdwatching utilized birds as the “hook” to engage children in healthy outdoor pursuits. We taught children the skills of observation, data collection, CITIES AND forming hypotheses, posing questions, and analyzing data while connecting them to nature in their own schoolyards, parks and neighborhoods.

Giving from IRA’s Made Permanent in 2015

When Congress passed the PATH Act of 2015, the law permanently renewed the charitable IRA provision allowing those aged 70 ½ or older to make direct charitable gifts from traditional and Roth IRA’s to qualified charities up to $100,000 annually free from federal income taxation. This method of giving could benefit you in many ways, especially for those who must take required minimum distributions each year.

For more information on how you can make a charitable gift from your IRA to NJ Audubon, please contact your plan administrator or Eric Stiles, President & CEO of NJ Audubon at [email protected] or 908-396-6369.

Thank you for your support!
