Ecopreserve

In the middle of the Rutgers New Brunswick campus, visitors and Rutgers regulars alike can get lost in nature when they step foot in our 300+ acre Ecological Preserve. The preserve is open to all, and it is easily accessed from Livingston campus. It supports environmental sustainability as a home to many native plants and animals, as well as several streams that feed into the Raritan River. Beyond its benefits to the environment, people can gain a mental health boost or a hands on educational experience from visiting the preserve, and it increases access to green spaces in urban areas.

Check out trail maps and guides, online tours, upcoming events, and more.
