Stony Brook Millstone Watershed Arboretum, Botanical garden in Pennington, New Jersey.
The Stony Brook Millstone Watershed Arboretum is a large nature reserve in New Jersey featuring diverse tree collections and walking trails throughout its grounds. The property encompasses hundreds of acres with varied landscapes to explore.
The site grew from conservation efforts that began in a house from the 1800s. Over time, it became an important place for nature protection and environmental education in the region.
The site hosts native plants and butterflies in various habitats that reflect the ecological balance of the region. Visitors can observe how these species interact within their natural environments.
The grounds are accessible through multiple entry points leading to different areas of the property. The pathways are clearly marked, allowing visitors to choose different routes based on their interest and fitness level.
A pond created in the 1970s by damming a stream now serves as a learning space for school groups and environmental programs. The artificial water feature shows how people can actively manage nature.
