Cape May National Wildlife Refuge is comprised of three units....
The Great Cedar Swamp Division is at the northern end of the refuge in Dennis and Upper Townships. Habitats such as salt marsh, hardwood swamp, bog, grasslands and large tracts of forested uplands are used by wildlife such as blue-winged warblers, ovenbirds, and short-eared owls. The refuge connects with a state forest and the Pineland National Reserve.

Where in New Jersey is the Cape May National Wildlife Refuge?
The Cape May National Wildlife Refuge is located within the Cape May peninsula, the southernmost point in the state of New Jersey. Because of its unique geography, the peninsula offers stunning views of sunrise to the east over the water of the Atlantic Ocean, and of sunset to the west over the water of the Delaware Bay. The Refuge currently protects over 11,000 acres of peninsula habitat in its 3 refuge units: the Great Cedar Swamp Division, the Delaware Bay Division and the Two-Mile Beach Unit. These 3 units represent unique, diverse habitats: forested hardwood swamp, river estuary and ocean barrier island. VIEW MAP
