The Arboretum presents a remarkable picture of biodiversity, particularly fauna and flora native to New Jersey. Our grounds boast one of the state’s greatest concentrations of wildflowers, and are home to 45 species of trees, 100 species of birds, rare ferns, and 275-year-old tulip trees.
The Arboretum receives 17,500 visits from children and adults annually. 1,300 of these visits are field trips from township elementary schools. Learn how you can schedule your visit to the Arboretum here
