Save These Dates! April 3 - 5, 2022
The 77th Annual Northeast Fish & Wildlife Conference is hosted by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Division of Fish and Wildlife and will be held on Sunday, April 3 – Tuesday, April 5, 2022 at the Ocean Place Resort in Long Branch, New Jersey. The conference theme is The Power of Partnerships for Landscape Level Planning. Make plans now to participate!
Our plans were put on hold back in April of 2020, and we are looking forward to the opportunity of welcoming you in 2022! At this time, our intention is to hold the 77th Annual Conference in person as scheduled. We are also exploring options to offer online content in a virtual format to allow as many people to participate as possible. We hope this hybrid option provides flexibility and will meet the needs of those who are unable to be onsite due to travel or budget or other restrictions. We’ll provide more details as our plans develop.
We look forward to providing opportunities for connection, professional development, and the exchange of ideas and critical information regarding the management and protection of fish and wildlife resources primarily in the northeast. We hope you will make plans to join us.
