Trenton, NJ - February 1, 2007 - The Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ is proud to honor Kathy Clark, of Cape May Courthouse and Amy Greene of Flemington with its 2007 Women and Wildlife Awards. The awards are presented to exceptional women wildlife biologists for their achievements in the field, for the advances they have made for women in the profession and for their contributions to protecting New Jersey's wildlife. The awards reception will take place on March 25, 2007 from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. at the Prallsville Mills in Stockton, NJ. An art and photography exhibit to highlight New Jersey's wildlife will be held during this event. Tickets are $50 per person and all proceeds will benefit the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ.
Kathy Clark will be presented with the 2007 Women and Wildlife Leadership Award. A Principal Biologist in the Endangered and Nongame Species Program in New Jersey's Division of Fish and Wildlife, Ms. Clark is the leader of the program's osprey project and has been instrumental in the recovery of the bald eagle in the state since the early 1980's. She also leads the peregrine falcon project that has, under her leadership, established a stable breeding population of peregrines in New Jersey and has seen peregrines return to historic areas along the Hudson River. Her impact on wildlife can be seen from the Delaware bayshore to the Pali
es and many areas in between. Acknowledged by all for her quiet strength, Kathy Clark has lead many young biologists to a career in wildlife conservation.
Amy Greene will be presented with the 2007 Women and Wildlife Inspiration Award. As the president of Amy S. Greene Environmental Consultants, Inc., she has built an environmental consulting firm that has been in business for over 20 years and now has approximately 25 employees. Her company has worked to restore habitat for wildlife through wetland mitigation and various restoration projects and has been honored for such projects by the NJ Native Plant Society and the Soil and Water Conservation Service. Acknowledged as a mentor and role model, she has always nurtured the growth of her employees and actively encouraged them to become acquainted with the issues that impact wildlife and habitat in the state.
The Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ, a nonprofit organization located in Trenton, NJ, protects endangered and threatened wildlife. The Foundation carries out research, habitat management, restoration projects, education and other activities to advance its mission. Because our rare wildlife is subject to many challenges in this densely populated state the Foundation partners with the state's Endangered and Nongame Species programs on various projects that promote the well-being of over 70 species of wildlife that live, breed or migrate through our state.
Attendees of the Women and Wildlife Awards reception will be treated to an exhibit of New Jersey wildlife art and photography. Artwork and photographs will be for sale on the day of the event and the proceeds will advance wildlife conservation in New Jersey.
