Wildlife



The Division of Fish and Wildlife manages 19 public wildlife areas; over 62,000 acres of land. In addition to providing habitat for a variety of wildlife, these lands provide hunting and other outdoor recreational opportunities.

The Wildlife Section oversees hunting, hunting seasons and other game-related programs, as well as key wildlife and habitat conservation and education initiatives like the Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program and the Delaware Shorebird Monitoring Project, among many others.
