This 68 acres of forested wetlands serves as a Bird and Wildlife Sanctuary that is home to more than 50 bird, 14 mammal, 16 fish, 16 amphibian, and 26 reptile species, including the endangered Gopher Tortoise, Gopherus polypnemus.

On 75 acres, this Bird and Wildlife Sanctuary hosts a great variety of migratory and  year-round resident birds due to its habitat diversity.  On a visit, one would be likely to run into Great Blue Heron, American Bittern, Red-headed Woodpecker, Eastern Phoebe, Cedar Waxwing, and Eastern Bluebird.  This site is located at the corner of Rt. 104 and Fifth Road and is very accessible with a small parking area and a short, easy trail for walking.

On the south side of Catchpole Road between Garlic Road and Brick Schoolhouse Road, Huckleberry Swamp is 79 acres of diverse, high quality wetlands that provide significant functions including storm water retention, groundwater recharge, wildlife habitat, and possibly rare plant habitat.  Resulting values include water quality improvement and opportunities for recreation, education and aesthetic appreciation (Environmental Design and Research, P.C. 1999).  

In Fall of 2001 we will finish Phase 1 of construction of a wildlife observation deck and boardwalk that will meander through a variety of wetland habitats including emergent marsh, Green Ash Wetland, and Red Maple Wetland.
