If you have any questions about the wildlife of Paterson, you can contact the New Jersey Wildlife Commission, sometimes called the New Jersey Fish & Wildlife Agency. New Jersey game wardens address many wildlife management matters, from hunting licenses, to poaching, endangered species, and Paterson wildlife management. They deal with wild animals outside the range of a pest control company, such as cougars or bears. If you have a problem with nuisance wildlife in Paterson like squirrels, snakes, bats, or raccoons, the state agency is very unlikely to help. You need to hire a private company (here are their prices) such as EG Wildlife Removal at 862-377-6541.

State fish: Brook trout
State insect: European honeybee

New Jersey has four very different habitat regions, making it one of the most bio-diverse states in the United States. The coastal area is loaded with beaches and almost has a completely different human culture than the rest of the state. Urban New Jersey is right across from New York City, and this is one of the most densely populated areas of the state. In contrast, the southern part of New Jersey is dominated by pine trees and thick forest, and it is sparsely populated with people compared to the rest of the state. Up in the northwest, hardwood forests and mountains start the transition into the type of vegetation seen in the rest of the Northeast.

The wide variety of habitats means a wide variety of animals. New Jersey has over 1000 different animal species. These animals find homes in pine forests, hardwood forests, freshwater and saltwater marshes, and beach ecosystems.

Of the 90 different mammal species in this state, the black bear is the largest. These predators are most commonly found in the northwest portion of the state but have been spotted in every county. The bears are particularly problematic because of how populated the northwest part of the state is with humans. As a rule, black bears mind their own business; however, in a state where people and garbage are plentiful, bears can become frequent visitors to local dumps or garbage cans. The second largest predator in this state is the coyote. These canines are scarce, and spend their time in the wilder region of New Jersey. The large predators in this state are not considered nuisance animals like the smaller mammals that like to run amok.

Hikers out looking for animals will find more white-tailed deer than in any other state in the country. In addition to the deer, squirrels, skunks, foxes, raccoons, beaver, and groundhogs are all common sightings when out in the woods. Mammals don't hold all the glory for wildlife spotters. New Jersey has hundreds of bird species, including a growing population of bald eagles.

With so much water in the state, it's no wonder there are over 300 species of fish, reptiles, and amphibians in both freshwater and saltwater regions. New Jersey has swordfish, sturgeon, copperhead snakes, rattlesnakes, snapping turtles, and a colorful frog known as the Pine Barrens tree frog.

Paterson Wildlife Tip
Clearing Away The Rodent Poop After An Invasion - Anyone who has had an invasion of rodents in their home is, no doubt, full of horror stories about the amount of damage they can do to the infrastructure of the property and the terrible mess they leave behind. It is probably true to say that we all love to watch rodents playing in our yard, their natural curiosity and adventurous spirit makes them fascinating to watch. However, should they take up residence in your home you will want, no doubt, to get rid of them as quickly as possible, and, having done so, will then be left with the unenviable task of cleaning up the rodent poop and urine.

Unfortunately, for homeowners these particular rodents tend to take a 'scatter approach' with both their rodent poop and their urine. You will find, most likely, traces of it in the farthest corners of your attic. It may be necessary to remove all the insulating materials from your attic and to have the whole area deep cleaned. Whilst neither the feces nor the urine pose any real threat to humans it is wise, whilst cleaning, to wear protective clothing, gloves and a mask in order to protect yourself from any fumes.

Paterson, NJ Wildlife News Clip:
Wildlife - Nature in the City of Paterson

It's a dream that can improve the quality of life in Paterson and even help the city's bottom line. For Laguna Honda, ecological restoration might be the key to solving the problems of neglect on its land and creating a healing space for patients. New Jersey has an abundance of wildlife, and Paterson is no exception.

For the city as a whole, healthy wetlands and chorus frogs could bring back the sound of indigenous wildness, while also providing a more long-term, robust answer to the mosquito question. Although several species of wildlife roam Paterson, only a few, such as raccoons and squirrels, are considered pest wildlife.

And restored native grasslands could give us vistas that are green for most of the year and that bloom all summer long, sending legions of native butterflies into our neighborhoods. Remember to treat the wild animals of Patterson, New Jersey, with respect.

"I'm hoping that we've gone through our main bottleneck where we've lost everything we're going to lose," says Squirrel and Snake Man, "that now we're coming through to the other side, into a place where there's a lot of possibility." "If it's not going to happen here in Passaic County," adds The Opossum Guy, "where's it going to happen?" New Jersey has many reptiles, and it's important to be able to identify Paterson snake species and mammals.
