The state of New Jersey in the United States owns and administers over 354,000 acres (1,430 km2) of land designated as "Wildlife Management Areas" throughout the state. These areas are managed by the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife, an agency in the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. These protected areas are not part of the state's public parks and forests system, and while managed as fish and wildlife habitat with a focus on recreational fishing and hunting activities, these multi-use sites are also "prime locations for birding, wildlife viewing and photography, cross country skiing, hiking and mountain biking". All individuals partaking in these activities should familiarize themselves with all local fishing and hunting regulations, found on the NJDEP website as well as New Jersey wildlife management area regulations which can also be found on the NJDEP website. WMA regulations include restricted hours, motor vehicle, boating, biking, and horseback riding guidelines, among other restrictions and regulations. According to state wildlife education specialist Paul Tarlowe, the wildlife management areas reflect the varied and diverse terrain across the state, including "extremely rugged terrain to level woods roads to sandy tracts in the Pinelands to coastal marshes ." As of July 2015, there are 121 areas throughout the state and new properties and additions to existing properties are continually being added.
