Welcome
to the
Cape May Plant & Wildlife Guide

This guide to the flora and fauna of Cape May County, in southern New Jersey is intended as a photo gallery to showcase the wonderful wildlife that can be found in the region, as well as to act as a resource for identification - especially for such large groups as insects and plants. All sections will be added to as new photos become available, but such well-known groups as birds and mammals are not intended to be comprehensive here as there are plenty of readily available books covering these groups.

You will also find various sections covering the landscapes and wildlife communities that Cape May is justly famous for, as well as a glossary to help you understand some of the technical terms that it is necessary to use to identify some of the trickier groups, such as dragonflies and grasses. Finally, there is a reference section which gives due credit to the various sources that were used when compiling this site.
