Wreck Pond Nature Preserve
Restoration is the key to preserving our open space nature preserve for generations to come. It is the WTEAC’s desire to provide positive outdoor recreational and educational experiences for our residents.
Open Space Preservation Program This property has been acquired by Wall Township and dedicated as open space for future generations. (5.48 acres)
Benefits of Enjoyment: Rain Garden The Osprey Tower Nesting Platform was made possible with a grant from Verizon and awarded to the WTEAC. Volunteers included: JCP&L, Public Works, Glendola Fire Department, and Atlantic Kritch Crane. The former Jimmy Byrne’s Sea Girt Inn, housed on this Wreck Pond site, held a capacity of 1,200 patrons in their dining ballroom. This dance club/bar was a local favorite. The Inn was razed in 1977. The WTEAC/Green Team submitted a grant proposal to Sustainable Jersey for a $2000 Walmart grant. Wall Township was the recipient of the award to be used toward the restoration of the Wreck Pond Native Preserve. This undeveloped environmentally sensitive site serves as a balance between the residents’ enjoyment, while at the same time, it maintains the preservation of wildlife and the natural environment. Clean up after your pets – it’s the law!
The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), sometimes known as the sea hawk, fish eagle, or fish hawk, is a diurnal, fisheating bird of prey. It is a large raptor, reaching more than 60 cm (24 in) in length and 180 cm (71 in) (5-6 feet) across the wings with a weight 3-4 pounds. It is brown on the upperparts and predominantly greyish on the head and underparts. The Osprey tolerates a wide variety of habitats, nesting in any location near a body of water providing an adequate food supply. The Osprey's diet consists almost exclusively of fish. Wikipedia
