Wheelabrator Technologies Inc. | A Waste Management Company

Gloucester County, New Jersey

Working together with the New Jersey Audubon Society and the Cape May Bird Observatory, Wheelabrator created and maintains a Wildlife Refuge and Nature Trail on 150 acres of wetlands surrounding the Gloucester, New Jersey waste-to-energy facility. The meandering trail system was designed to provide an optimal outdoor experience for visitors while minimizing the human impact on wildlife.

The natural beauty of this diverse habitat provides a wonderful opportunity for young and old alike to observe wildlife and learn about the environment. Dry woodlands, grassy lawns, retention ponds, riparian forest, and dredge spoil are all part of the wildlife refuge making it a prime location to observe wildlife, including Saw-whet owls, waterfowl, and shorebirds.
