Ecology & Wildlife
The Drew Forest is comprised of 53 intact acres with mature trees and glacial ponds on Drew University’s 168-acre campus in Madison, NJ. It provides regional environmental and public benefits that would be lost if cleared for development. Among these benefits: 22 acres of public trails, critical aquifer recharge, impossible-to-replicate carbon sequestration, and unique regional opportunities for education.
