Please see the below information from New Jersey Fish & Wildlife regarding newborn wildlife.

In the spring and summer months, you may come across newborn and young wildlife. NJDEP Fish & Wildlife urges you to leave young wildlife undisturbed. Every year, especially around this time, the lives of many young animals are disrupted. Well-intentioned people may attempt to “save” these animals, but most often the mother is nearby. White-tailed deer fawns are left alone during the day to keep them safe until they are strong enough to keep up with the adults. Their lack of scent and color pattern can help them remain undetected while the mother is away feeding. If you come across a fawn, the best thing you can do is to leave it undisturbed and leave the area.

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their courage, dedication, and selflessness will never be forgotten.

As we gather with family and friends this Memorial Day, let us take a moment to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy because of those who gave everything to protect them.

From all of us at Ramsey OEM & CERT, we extend our deepest gratitude to our fallen heroes and their families. 🇺🇸
