5/5 Adventures In South J. 6 months ago on Google • 24 reviews
On
Saturday
morning
we
had
ourselves
an
adventure
at
Woodford
Cedar
Run
Wildlife
Refuge
when
we
attended
their
annual
Trails,
Tails,
and
Ales
event!
Growing
up
in
Medford
I
have
fond
memories
of
this
place.
As
a
kid
in
the
80s
and
90s
I
was
a
regular
visitor,
taking
school
field
trips,
working
as
a
volunteer
in
scouting,
and
taking
injured
wild
animals
to
their
hospital
with
my
parents
whenever
we
found
one
that
needed
help.
Today
I
still
live
in
Medford
and
my
recent
trip
there
made
me
realize
that
I
take
this
wonderful
place,
that’s
practically
in
my
backyard,
for
granted.
If
you
want
to
immerse
yourself
in
nature,
purchase
a
daily
pass
and
walk
over
3
miles
of
hiking
trails
where
you
can
spot
all
sorts
of
creatures
in
the
wild.
You
will
also
see
animals
in
the
enclosures
that
are
being
rehabilitated
along
with
some
that
are
not
able
to
be
released
like
their
resident
bald
eagle.
There
is
a
nature
center
that
has
several
exhibits,
a
reptile
room,
and
a
gift
shop.
They
offer
many
programs
for
schools,
scouts,
and
other
groups
including
private
events
and
birthday
parties.
The
best
part
about
Cedar
Run
is
their
Wildlife
Hospital!
For
decades
people
have
been
bringing
injured
or
abandoned
wildlife
that
is
native
to
New
Jersey.
This
all
started
in
1951
when
Jim
and
Betty
Woodford
purchased
the
land
and
in
1957
founded
Cedar
Run
Wildlife
Refuge.
Every
year
they
treat
over
6,300
wild
animals!
They
don’t
receive
any
government
funding
so
donations
are
greatly
appreciated.
Visit
their
website
for
more
information
including
programs
and
events.
We
were
there
over
the
weekend
for
the
Trails,
Tails,
and
Ales
5k
Fun
Run
and
Beer
Garden.
The
highlight
of
my
adventure
was
running
my
first
race
ever
and
the
highlight
of
my
wife’s
adventure
was
being
the
first
one
in
the
beer
garden!
Woodford
Cedar
Run
Wildlife
Refuge
is
great
for
nature
lovers
of
all
ages
and
is
truly
a
local
treasure
of
the
pines!
