Over the past few years we have been working in Bass River State Forest, Bass River Twp., NJ. The project includes the creation and enhancement of wildlife habitat, the removal of large amounts of fill and debris, and helps control the spread of invasive species. This project is a unique partnership between the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ and NJ Division of Parks and Forestry. Site work has been completed and we would like to enhance an existing hiking trail along the perimeter of the wetlands. The trail follows the edge of a freshwater impoundment through a mature forest. The total length of loop trail is approximately 1.5 miles long.

Please bring work gloves and pack a lunch. We will provide some light refreshments.
Heavy rain will cancel. There are no public restrooms on site, but a Super Wawa is down the road.

Please RSVP by emailing Ben Wurst
