Red fox, white tailed deer and countless chipmunks find refuge in our woodland. More than fifty kinds of birds nest here, filling the trees with sound and movement.  The strategic location of our large undeveloped acreage along the Atlantic Flyway provides a welcome stopover for a hundred more bird species during their spring and fall migrations.  Nearly a third of New Jersey's frog, toad, salamander and harmless snake species can be found within our borders. The diversity of plants and wildlife will delight the patient observer.
