Township receives 400 reusable hunting signs from New Jersey Fish and Wildlife
Summary
Franklin Park secured 400 small reusable hunting signs and 20 larger kiosk signs through a New Jersey Fish and Wildlife program; signs include QR-code space linking to local seasons and rules.
The Franklin Park Open Space and Recreation Committee reported that the township received 400 small reusable hunting signs and 20 larger kiosk signs from the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife, obtained through a free-signage program recommended by a county contact.
A committee member said the signs are bright orange, weather-rated, and include a small white panel to add a QR code linking to local season dates and rules. "They're really nice. They're good for the weather," the member said. The township requested 400 of the smaller signs and received that quantity, plus 20 larger signs intended for kiosks.
The signs are reusable and not printed with hard dates, which members said will allow them to remain in place across seasons; committee members discussed placing them seasonally from September through February and noted they can last several years if left in place. Members said a small number of additional specialized signs may still be ordered for specific properties such as Bunker Hill Natural Area or tenant-farmer properties.
DPW pickup: The committee placed a pickup request for DPW to collect the signs and asked DPW to inventory where additional permanent or special signs are needed. The committee credited Doug Bornlocker at the county and New Jersey Fish and Wildlife for the lead.
Ending: Committee members said the free signs will save the township money and allow the park program to add QR codes linking to local rules and season dates.
