Wildlife Preserves is a private, nonprofit land conservation corporation dedicated to the preservation of natural areas, open space, wildlife, and wildlife habitats for conservation, education, and research.
Its land is administered as natural areas and wildlife sanctuaries for the protection of wild animals, plants, and their habitats and open to the public for passive recreational uses such as hiking, biking, bird watching, photography, nature observation and study, with prohibitions against hunting, fishing, trapping, dumping, and off-trail motor vehicles.
Wildlife Preserves would like to cordially invite you to a free and fun afternoon at the main entrance to its Troy Meadows Nature Preserve. Mingle with neighbors, learn about the Preserve, provide some feedback to our staff, and share what events you would be interested in attending.
Join us for an enlightening event that celebrates the lives of fireflies in all their luminescent diversity. Senior Ecologist, Blaine Rothauser, will give a brief presentation about the life cycle, history, and role fireflies play in the environment. We will then catch and identify different species of fireflies.
Discover the secret nightlife of NJ bats! Join the Rutgers Wildlife Conservation and Management program at Wildlife Preserves’ Troy Meadows for an interactive presentation and guided walk.
