New Jersey charges itself with damaging land it was bound to protect -
The work was designed to create habitat for one species of bird, but actually wound up destroying habitat for two others.
The project also cleared and disturbed an additional 12 acres of land near wetlands known as transition areas, which also are protected.On its website, the department wrote on Feb. 1 that the work sought to create 21 acres of habitat for the American woodcock, a member of the sandpiper family that uses its long, narrow beak to forage for earthworms in damp soil. The project was designed to create “meadow habitat.
Tom Gilbert, a leader of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation, said, “This never should have happened. They must also take steps to improve their clearly inadequate internal review process and meaningfully engage the public.”
