The Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, located on the southern coast of New Jersey, is a 47,000-acre refuge designated for migratory birds on the Atlantic Flyway. Consequently, this area is special to both bird watchers and photographers. The refuge is also a stop for migrating monarch butterflies. Visitors will be enthralled by new wildlife at each change of the season.

Hiking the winter trails reveals bald eagles, owls, and waterfowl diving for food. During spring, visitors can view nesting ospreys through telescopes at Osprey Outlook on the boardwalk. Summer and fall bring new species to observe. The visitor information center helps with trail, boardwalk, and driving information.
