About Beaver Swamp Wildlife Management Area
This forested wetland site is surrounded by mixed upland forest and is a major component of the largely contiguous, forested central corridor of Cape May Peninsula. A dam and Clint Mill Pond, the freshwater pond at Beaver Swamp Wildlife Management Area (WMA), are what remain of Clint Ludlam’s saw mill that once manufactured lumber for housing and shipbuilding. The Beaver Swamp WMA is appropriately named after a population of beavers that had inhabited the pond until the dam began to erode. The site is part of the Cape May Corridor Natural Heritage Priority Macrosite (NHPM). The nearly contiguous wetlands and adjacent upland forests of this NHPM are one of the state’s most significant natural areas designated by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.

State-endangered Bald Eagles and state-threatened Barred Owls breed at the Beaver Swamp WMA. This site also provides essential habitat for forested wetland and mixed upland forest breeding birds. From Beaver Swamp Wildlife Management Area (Important Bird Area) web page
