Join us at the 2023 NJ Tree Farm Day!

Yet another outstanding Tree Farm Day is planned for you all at the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. The Great Swamp (located in Basking Ridge in Somerset County and Harding Township in Morris County) has lots of habitat types our resource specialists can provide great information about and to help you understand how everything is interconnected. We will be able to see management of non-native plants, prescribed burn areas, management for game and non-game wildlife species, including some threatened and endangered species.  We’ll have a Tree Farm tour on a property adjacent to the National Wildlife Refuge and other limited-capacity tours with plenty of choices amongst many topics of interest.
