New Jersey is a state of surprises. Did you know there was a castle
in Passaic Country? Or that Essex County's Branch Brook Park,
rather than Washington, D.C., has the largest concentration of
flowering cherry trees outside of Japan? Did you know you could
walk through a bamboo forest on the Rutgers University campus, dig
for fossils in Middletown's Poricy Brook, visit an owl haven on the
site of the Battle of Monmouth, or see wild river otters in Salem
County? Despite its proximity to major urban areas and its high
population density, the state has dozens of absolutely marvelous
natural areas and preserved spaces. It boasts something for
everyone, from Atlantic seashore to rugged mountains, rolling
farmland to winding canals, historic trails to formal gardens,
birdfilled marshes to hardwood forests, pine barrens to fragrant
vineyards and orchards. There are outings for hikers, bikers,
beachcombers, gardeners, power-walkers and strollers of all kinds,
and A Guide to Green New Jersey is your key to finding it all. The
book is conveniently organized into forty geographic areas,
spotlighting more than 200 nature walks. Each entry includes a
description, visitor hours, fees, driving accessibility, and other
pertinent information for walkers. At the end of the book, the
authors provide an index with the names of each site, and their
guide to choosing an outing according to individual tastes and
interests. They identify sites that are wheelchair accessible,
especially fun for kids, best for bicyclists, and those that are
particularly physically challenging. Newcomers to the state will
find the book indispensable, and long-time New Jerseyans will find
it a pleasantly eye-opening guide to wonderful walks right in their
own backyards.
