The forest’s noisiest neighbors have a quiet superpower—protecting your clean water.
New Jersey’s forests are home to a surprising variety of woodpeckers, each with its own distinct look and role in the ecosystem. From the bold, powerful pileated woodpecker to the tiny but mighty downy woodpecker, these birds are more than just drummers in the trees—they’re forest guardians.
In this short, kid-friendly video, you'll meet:
