The Mission of Team Habitat is to coordinate the creation, enhancement, and maintenance of habitat for all wildlife species that live in or migrate through New Jersey.  Team Habitat will be extremely conscious of the historic nature of the New Jersey environment and work to restore its cultural resources through scientific and practical methods.

Team Habitat is a group of dedicated conservationists working to provide habitat for all wildlife species by creating, enhancing and maintaining quality habitat throughout New Jersey.  Team Habitat will use wildlife and natural resource professionals to direct a paid and volunteer work force in performing habitat projects.

Team Habitat founding organizations are:  South Jersey RC&D Council, Inc., Southern Jersey Quail Unlimited, Land Dimensions Engineering, Lenape Farms, Cape-Atlantic SCD, Ducks Unlimited, National Wild Turkey Federation, Ruffed Grouse Society, Pheasants Forever, First State RC&D Council, Inc., US Fish and Wildlife Service, NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife, and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.  New members will be listed as they join.

The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service made the following announcement:

At the NACD meeting this month, Chief Knight unveiled TechReg, the new Technical Service Provider Registry, calling it "an outstanding example of how government can serve the public more effectively through electronic means."  TechReg is an Internet application that makes it easy for technical service providers (TSPs) to register and become certified, and for USDA Customers to find certified providers. 

On March 1, 2003, TechReg will go on-line and be available from http://techreg.usda.gov .  The application provides a TSP locator, information about certification categories and criteria, on-line certification, and TSP progress reporting. 

This new program can be a valuable importance to wildlife habitat development.  The TSP contains several areas for upland and wetland habitat development.  This certification process can provide you the creditability to undertake successful projects.  Please check it out.
