Cedar Run is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of New Jersey’s wildlife and habitats through education, conservation, and rehabilitation.
Cedar Run sits on 171 wooded preserved acres on the edge of the New Jersey Pinelands. Cedar Run includes the Woodford Nature Center, an outdoor Wildlife Housing Area with over 55 native residents, and a Wildlife Rehabilitation Hospital. The overall mission of Cedar Run is to serve as a community resource on the importance of protecting and enhancing healthy ecosystems for all.
WE CARE ABOVE ALL
Cedar Run is the tri-state area’s oldest and busiest wildlife hospital, treating 26% of New Jersey’s injured and/or orphaned wildlife in need of care. We are your trusted resource when it comes to New Jersey native wildlife and receive over 32,000 phones calls from the local community each year.
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IS THE FUTURE.
We offer a wide variety of hands-on, engaging STEM-based (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) environmental education programs both on-site and off-site that meet or exceed Next Generation Science Standards.
WE NEED YOUR HELP
We are a non-profit organization that does NOT receive any federal, state, or local tax funding. Cedar Run relies on contributions from members, corporations, private foundations, and donors to fulfill its mission and support daily operations.
So far this year we have treated over 7,560 New Jersey native wildlife. This year was a record breaking year for Cedar Run!
Cedar Run has 3 Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitators on staff in our Wildlife Rehabilitation Hospital and we have 24 hour drop off year round!

All November long make a symbolic adoptions of $50 or more and receive a fox plush with your adoption. Cedar Run cares for thousands of animals each year, including nearly 55 resident animals who are unable to be returned to the wild. These animals are known as our Wildlife Ambassadors. Some of our ambassadors are given a chance to interact with the public through our education programs.
