Events
In keeping with CDC protocols and the State of New Jersey directives to combat the spread of the Covid-19 virus, the U.S.Fish & Wildlife Service has ordered the Visitor Center and Nature Store at the Cape May National Wildlife Refuge to be closed until further notice.
All our scheduled events, programs and meetings on the property have been cancelled to comply with those directives.
Our top priority is to avoid congregating in order to protect and safeguard our members, visitors, volunteers and staff.
For more information: https://www.fws.
Also, the Two Mile Beach Unit will be closed to the public as it is every year at this time due to Environmental Laws protecting beach nesting bird populations and migratory bird populations that have recently returned to our beach.
Thank you for your cooperation.
We look forward to seeing you all in good health when this public health crisis is over.

Friends of Cape May National Wildlife Refuge
