🌱 Happy First Day of Spring! 🌼

Signs of the changing seasons will soon be popping up at HLT preserves in the form of spring ephemerals - plants that complete their life cycle early in the season to take advantage of sunlight reaching the forest floor before trees leaf out. We recommend taking a hike at our Idell and Zega-Lockatong Preserves to see these early blooms. Let us know what you find!

Pictured: trout lily (Erythronium americanum), Virginia spring beauty (Claytonia virginica), Jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum), and mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum)

We had a wonderful time at our Naturalist Walk at Idell Preserve this past Saturday! Many thanks to expert naturalist Juanita Hummel for sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm for vernal pools and the amphibians that rely on them. 🐸

We are grateful for support of this program by the National Park Service’s Lower Delaware Wild & Scenic River Program, which aims to protect the natural, cultural, and historic values of the Delaware River.

HLT is excited to share that 12 acres of land along the Lockatong Creek in Kingwood Township has been preserved!

The property owner of 214 Federal Twist Road reached out to HLT for assistance in preserving his property. HLT contacted the NJ Green Acres Program, and the State of New Jersey acquired the property to enlarge the Lockatong Wildlife Management Area, which is open to the public. Lockatong Creek is a Category-1 stream and a tributary of the Delaware River. Preserving land along Category-1 streams enhances water quality, reduces flooding, and protects critical wildlife habitat.

We are grateful for support of land acquisition in the Delaware River watershed by the National Park Service's Lower Delaware Wild & Scenic River Program, which aims to protect the natural, cultural, and historic values of the Delaware River.
