Wildlife Conservation Corps Looking for Volunteers to Post Trout Signs

NJDEP:

The Bureau of Law Enforcement is looking for WCC volunteers to assist in our yearly effort to post “Trout Stocked Waters” signs along the rivers, streams and ponds in the Northern Region of the state.

 

Posting can begin now and must be completed before March 23, 2020.

 

Signs need to be posted in the following counties:  Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Morris, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union, Warren

 

The WCC volunteers will be provided with the signs and a list of stocking locations on where to post the signs.  Markers will be provided to write the name of the water body on the sign (some come pre-printed), and staples will be provided as well.

 

Volunteers will need to have their own staple gun capable of using 9/16 inch staples.

 

All signs are posted in outdoor/ streamside locations, in parking areas, fishing access points and along roadways, so volunteers should be able to maneuver through these locations.  Volunteers need to provide their own transportation to these locations and should wear bright/visible clothing for safety.

 

Please contact Captain Doug Applegate at the Northern Region Office (908) 735-8240 - M-F 8:30 AM- 4:30 PM (business hours) if interested, or email him at douglas.applegate@dep.nj.gov

 

Thank you!
