Protect Wetlands from ATV Use

Unexpected Wildlife Refuge has been a sanctuary for wild animals and plants native to the unique New Jersey Pine Barrens ecosystem. The Refuge is 767 acres of deciduous, cedar and pine forests, swamps, bogs, lakes, streams and vital wetland areas. The Refuge is home to beaver lodges, Great blue heron and Carolina wood duck nests, foxes and coyotes and hundreds of species of other animals and plants, including the endangered Pine Barrens tree frog.
We are recently having trouble with ATV riders trespassing on posted Refuge property. They are doing much damage to this 55-year-old safe haven -- riding through wetlands, widening our trails, causing harmful sediments to cloud our waters and tearing up the forest with their loud and noxious vehicles. 
We have posted and pounded 6-foot steel stakes 3 feet into the ground as a preventative, but they remove them and continue to trespass. 
What we plan to do is to install more trail cameras and PERMANENT barriers to the entrances to our trails using natural boulders and by planting strategically placed mature trees. 

The boulders with delivery cost about 400 dollars a peice and we estimate that we will need about 5 or 6 of them -- in addition to planting native trees -- this will cover all possible entrances.

Once installed, they will be impossible to move.

This campaign is our number one priority right now. We thank you for your contribution, for wildlife everywhere.
